Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I support the construction workers who are picketing the offices of the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. There is an obligation to provide for workers' pensions. The construction workers are expressing their anger that their employers, the developers, have not been paying the mandatory contributions to their pension schemes. The figure runs to more than €30 million. These people often put lives at risk because developers do not take their obligations seriously and provide for the health and safety of workers. I ask the Leader to ask the Ministers for Justice, Equality and Law Reform and Social and Family Affairs to address this problem and ensure that measures are put in place to provide for the pensions of these construction workers.
