Terence Flanagan (Dublin North East, Fine Gael)

To deal specifically with the issue rather than the charges being made by the Minister of State, what hope will he give to the people living in developments where the developer and builder are bankrupt and are not in a position to finish off these housing estates? What hope can he give those people?

In light of the Minister receiving the Laois report, is he willing to make a statement at this stage or can he give us a definitive date as to when he will announce further information? The inaction by Government in recent years has brought us to this point. In regard to local authorities reporting directly to the Department, what changes has the Minister made or will he make in that regard?
