Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

I ask the Tánaiste to explain why the long-promised building control Bill has been delayed for so long. It is wonderful to behold that the country is experiencing an unprecedented level of activity in the construction industry. However, it is without the safeguards and consumer protection associated with this Bill. Can one assume that it is due to the influence of the Galway Races hospitality tent and the builders there that have prevented this?
