Mattie McGrath (Tipperary South, Independent)

It is vital to include a provision to cover suppliers of primary products, such as concrete and steel companies. Those products are not covered by legislation and they cannot be repossessed if they are in the ground and cannot be removed. They are a vital part in the foundations of buildings. I know there is pressure from officials in this regard but I do not know why. I compliment Senator Quinn for doing much work on the Bill, which we all support, but it must be right. Bad legislation is no good to anybody.
