Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

If there are any breaches of the law in these initiatives, regardless of whether they are national housing schemes, local authority schemes or any schemes funded by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, we will happily follow them up because the inspectorate exists to ensure such breaches do not happen. A number of cases are investigated every year but I will certainly follow up any information given to me by Deputy Sargent.
