Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

When Minister for Social Protection - the Minister may have found traces of this in the Department - I was working with the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government on standards in rented accommodation, PRTB pre-registration rather than post-registration, BER ratings, building regulations and so on. Has the Minister progressed discussions on those issues? The Department is spending €500 million on rented accommodation, which according to statistics includes some of the coldest accommodation in the country. There is a need for joined up thinking in this regard.
