Paddy Burke (Fine Gael)

I congratulate the Cathaoirleach on his election to the position and wish him well for his term. Having worked closely with the Cathaoirleach over the last number of years in his position as Government Whip I do not doubt that he will be impartial and will do an excellent job.

I seek a debate on the new building regulations, relating to energy conservation in houses and so on, proposed by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy John Gormley. I would like waste disposal and recycling included in that debate. Will the Leader arrange that debate and invite the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to attend the House?
