Terence Flanagan (Dublin North East, Fine Gael)

I welcome the completion of Report Stage of this important legislation. For the first time, apartment owners can have their voices heard and have someone to turn to regarding the multiple problems that can appear in apartment complexes.

I thank the Minister for his efforts and his officials for their good work. I am delighted the Minister has brought forward amendments in the area of fire safety, which was overlooked initially and deserves the attention it is now getting. Fine Gael, and most Deputies, have been campaigning for proper legislation in this area in the past ten years. I am delighted the Bill will become law as soon as possible.

I thank the Minister again and wish him well.
