Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)

I come from a county where many people have suffered because of the collapse of construction. Many were small subcontractors and this has led to great personal difficulties for them, their employees and others associated with the construction industry in the county. That situation is replicated throughout the country. There is great urgency attached to the enactment of this Bill. Obviously, this Seanad is in its dying days but we should send a very strong message to the Lower House that this matter should be treated as a priority.
