Averil Power (Fianna Fail)

I thank the Minister for his commitment to intervene in respect of mortgages and to talk to the Department of Social Protection. It will be a comfort to residents to know that the Government will talk to the banks and ask the Department of Social Protection to look after them. I know the Minister is looking at changing the building inspection procedures in the future. We would all agree on the need to do that as soon as possible. Again, I thank him for the commitments he gave and for coming to the House to address this issue.
