Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

The construction regulations are with the parliamentary counsel. I expect the Health and Safety Authority to submit a draft of the general application regulations soon, which will be forwarded to the parliamentary counsel. I wrote to the clerk of the Joint Committee on Enterprise and Small Business offering to give a briefing to that committee on the construction regulations and to hear its views on the matter. If the Deputies wish, I will do the same with regard to the general application regulations when they become available.
