Joe O'Reilly (Fine Gael)

It is absurd that as of today we do not start a school construction programme and that we do not put insulation in place.

I appreciate the Cathaoirleach's indulgence. I will finish now. I ask the Leader to bring the Minister to the House immediately to debate this matter and to have him make a statement that will start the construction industry again. It is shocking. I was told yesterday ten people were laid off in one place because of the stoppage on insulation work.
