Senator Butler called for a debate with the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government on the challenges facing the construction industry. I can have this take place at the earliest possible date after the Easter recess.

Senator O'Reilly spoke about the cost of consultants and wastage. I will pass his views on to the Minister. However, his former Taoiseach, Garret FitzGerald, started much of the recruiting of consultants in his time.
