Seanad debates

Order of Business.
Senator Coghlan raised the issue of Dúchas yesterday. The Minister for the Environment and Local Government has done a great disservice to the country by dissolving Dúchas, the agency which had been built up and which was beginning to have a currency with the public in regard to the built heritage. It would be a retrograde step if the Minister has yielded to pressure from the building construction industry to abolish this agency. I hope he will come before the House and indicate his reasons for the abolition of Dúchas.
