Deputy Molloy, and then I must pass to the next question.

Have the discussions which were to take place between the officials of the Minister's Department and professional bodies such as architects, engineers etc. with regard to the Building Control Bill been concluded? If so, were they concluded successfully? If not, is it true that they have broken up without any conclusion being reached?

Discussions have taken place between An Foras Forbartha and people within the building industry. Very successful meetings have been held in that respect, explaining and putting forward the contents of the building regulations. I am not aware of any breaking up of any meeting such as suggested by the Deputy. That is not part of the question, but certainly I am not aware of it.

This is going far away from the question. It has nothing to do with the question.

In view of the fact that the Minister seems to be ignorant in this regard I will be happy to send him information on it.
