Construction Contracts Bill 2010: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages
4:30 pm
Brian Hayes (Dublin South West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
To respond to Senator Quinn, we will review the legislation. I gave a commitment to do so on Committee Stage in the other House, although I did not have the commitment written into the Bill. We will introduce a statutory instrument to allow the adjudicators to be appointed and the system established. This will be the bread and butter of the legislation and will ensure it works in practice.
This is historic legislation as it is the first private Bill to span two terms of the Oireachtas. This proves that while Governments come and go, Senator Quinn is still here. I hope those words will not be used against me in the weeks ahead.
