Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

The water services Bill will be introduced in this session. How it progresses is a matter for the Houses, so I cannot say when it will be concluded. It will be done as expeditiously as possible. I am particularly interested in the Construction Contracts Bill. I have asked the Minister of State, Deputy Brian Hayes, to take personal seizure of it, and he has done that. He has had wide consultations on the Bill with, among others, Senator Feargal Quinn who is the original author of the Bill. I understand a revised Bill will be introduced in this session.
