----- we know for the second time was also corrupted.

Second, on the issue I raised with the Taoiseach earlier, I want him to point me to the legislation, or promised legislation, in the programme for Government in which he proposes to remedy the flaws in the law that have left families in fire traps and with big demands of cash made on them. There are no mandatory inspections before fire safety certificates are granted for buildings such as Longboat Quay. He should point me to the legislation in which he proposes to sort that out for people so we will not return to scenarios like this time and again.

The Taoiseach will recall that in December 2014 a Sinn Féin motion on the recognition of the Palestinian State was passed by the Dáil unanimously on a cross-party basis. In light of the fact that today, after a ceremony in New York, the Palestinian flag will be raised for the first time at the UN buildings, when does the Taoiseach propose to move on that motion to give to the Palestinian State and its diplomatic representatives here in Dublin full recognition, full ambassadorial status and everything associated with it?
