I also ask the Minister of State if the Government credit committee met to discuss the owner occupiers and if a case was made on the extension of the three month mortgage moratorium.

There are two reports the public has not seen, the Hayes Higgins report and the building control report. Does the Minister of State know if there will be legal action on foot of the building control report? Has Dublin City Council given a breakdown of the costs of accommodation, legal costs and the total bill to the council and, therefore, to the State and the people we represent for this mess at Priory Hall?

The developer, Mr. Tom McFeely, owns 68 of the properties in the complex. Does the Minister know if any negotiations on those properties are under way whereby they could be made part of any contribution the developer must make to rebuild the complex? Given that people were defrauded here, has the Government requested the National Bureau of Fraud Investigation or the Criminal Assets Bureau to look into this to see how the public interest may be progressed?
