Regulation of Providers of Building Works Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (26 Jan 2022)

Dara Calleary: I welcome the Bill and the opportunity to speak on it. The Bill's Title, the Regulation of Providers of Building Works Bill, does not give us a sense of the importance of it.

Dara Calleary: Gabhaim buíochas le hAilish Bhreathnach agus gach duine ó Chomhairle Cathrach na Gaillimhe. Bhí sonraí móra aici. Is í Gaillimh príomhchathair na Gaeltachta agus na Gaeilge.
