Thomas Pringle (Donegal, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I am not taking other Members' time. The time is allocated to us under Standing Orders. However, I will cut my contribution short to facilitate other Members.

First, I congratulate the Minister of State, Deputy Phelan, on his appointment. The motion is not his direct responsibility but local authorities should have a far greater role in building control and regulation in the State.
