I am concerned about reports in the newspapers yesterday where a major construction company working in the south of Ireland in Kerry is not paying its subcontractors. This construction company is carrying out public works. These are large jobs and the company is employing many subcontractors. If subcontractors will be left unpaid, it is worrying and serious. I wonder at what Stage is Senator Quinn's Bill to protect such subcontractors' payment. It is important that this Bill be enacted because we do not want to see a series of subcontractors getting into difficulty in the future.
