Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

Committee Stage of the Multi-Units Development Bill 2009 is being debated in the Seanad. When will it return to this House, with the possibility of addressing the issue of estate management companies to which large arrears are owed by residents in the affected estates?

The consumer and competition Bill, like most Bills on the Order Paper, is promised for 2010. Will it be introduced with any degree of urgency, with a view to ensuring that consumers receive maximum protection and that Members of the House have an opportunity of discussing those issues?
