On 30 March 2015 there was an horrific fire in Millfield Manor in Newbridge. Within 32 minutes six houses that had formed part of a terrace were gutted to the ground. Thankfully, no lives were lost because of the time of the day at which the fire occurred. It emerged afterwards that the building regulations had not been adhered to and that, basically, the builder had cut far too many corners. Many of the families - not only the six whose houses were burnt but the other 84 homeowners in the estate also - are faced every day with fear and negative equity and are having problems in getting insurance cover. The former Minister, Deputy Alan Kelly, said at that stage that he would commission a report on the causes of the fire and to enable him to make recommendations to existing homeowners. We are still awaiting that report. Will the Taoiseach ensure the report which is sitting on the Minister's desk is released as soon as possible? Can we get a time or date for its release?
