Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

My question is by way of supplementary because Deputy Sargent has raised the issue. Arising from all the queries we raise, what is the system of communication to the relevant Departments? We have had the same reply which, in fairness to the Taoiseach, has been given to him by his able civil servant. What happens after that? For example, do those responsible for the building control Bill simply ignore what has been said or what the Taoiseach has promised here, or is there an added urgency attached to bringing forward the next Stage? While I would not expect him to have this information unless it is in front of him, can the Taoiseach recall from memory the heads of the Bill being cleared at Cabinet, if so, when, and where is it in the pecking order? To the best of my knowledge that Bill has not moved during the past three years.
