Ciarán Cuffe (Dún Laoghaire, Green Party)

I suggest that the Minister should be doing much more to improve performance in respect of building output. He should be doing more to measure it. His party has been in power for nine years and he could do better.

I have high hopes that the Minister will occupy the high moral ground on this issue. I am sure he is capable of showing leadership and resolve and can deliver in respect of this important Bill. The Green Party will do its part to amend it in detail in a constructive fashion on Committee Stage.
