Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

As has been the case in terms of the Adamstown project, we have all been approached by residents whose estates have not been taken in charge for eight or nine years. The builders may not be in business anymore. In the Adamstown case, specific quantities of housing needed to be completed and brought up to standard before the next development phase could occur. I urge the Minister's Department to consider the issue in this context so that the situation of a series of housing estates being incomplete and necessitating taking in charge can be avoided. I urge the Department to take on board the suggestion that the development should be dealt with incrementally as it is being rolled out.
