Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

Have we gone backwards in legislating for the tens of thousands who live in apartment blocks that are supposed to be governed by management companies? Deputy Brian Lenihan undertook, when he was Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, to be the lead Minister and bring forward the legislation. Is there any sign of the legislation? Is it coming from the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform? He is not a man who likes legislating, I can assure the Taoiseach. What are the plans because there are tens of thousands of residents in serious trouble? Some of the companies work, but most of them do not, and this area needs legislation.
