Ivana Bacik (Independent)

I am also grateful that he wants to resolve the vexed question of completion in some way. I regret it cannot be addressed through amendment in this House but I echo what he said. We are trying to help him to resolve the vexed issue of completion through amendments Nos. 1 and 26, in particular, and also through amendments Nos. 15, 27 and 50, which deal with the retention principle. Members of both Houses are well aware of the serious difficulties people face because of inadequate competition not only of individual apartments but of entire complexes and communal areas. This is an ongoing problem for many people and we must be cognisant of that. We are trying to come up with a workable and practical solution to this. I am grateful for the Minister's comments but I regret we cannot make the amendments in this House.
