A mediation Bill has been promised to deal with disputes between neighbours on issues such as overgrowing trees blocking light and so forth. At the moment, people in such disputes must go through the civil courts process and the mediation Bill is intended to deal with such cases. Can the Tánaiste indicate the progress made on that legislation?

I also wish to ask about the building control Bill. In light of Construction 2020 and the focus on ensuring the construction of more houses in the years ahead, putting the construction register in Ireland on a statutory footing is important in order that all builders are fully compliant and that we have no more Priory Halls. Can the Tánaiste update us on the status of that legislation?
