Clare Daly (Dublin North, Socialist Party)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the following matter of urgent public importance, namely, that a major construction company, the main contractor for the Portrane wastewater treatment plant, received full payment from Fingal County Council but refused to pay subcontractors on the scheme, thereby jeopardising the livelihoods of the workers involved; and the urgent need for legislation to prevent the increasingly common practice where subcontractors and other workers are left unpaid by those in receipt of substantial funds for major public contracts.
