Peadar Tóibín (Meath West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The Construction Contracts Act was introduced in the Oireachtas 1,800 days ago but it is still not functioning. It was introduced in an effort to ensure that subcontractors were not stuffed by those higher up the food chain. The chair of the organisation was selected last July but we still do not have a board of adjudicators in place to provide this badly needed service. Can the Taoiseach tell us when that will be in place?

It is five months since we had the cynical and strategic use of company law to defraud the workers of Clerys and to stuff the State for statutory redundancy. Where is the Government with regard to legislation on this? Finally, I add my voice to the calls on the one-year bankruptcy Bill.
