Joe Higgins (Dublin West, Socialist Party)

Yes. It is clear from what the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government stated yesterday in respect of the issue that Deputy Murphy and I have been raising here, that legislation is needed to void estate management company contracts whereby young homeowners are forced into paying for services which local authorities supply in most other estates. Can I ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when we might see such legislation, which is quite urgent considering that people are being dragged to court?
