Building regulations legislation
Dessie Ellis cited serious defects and explosions at housing estates and sought urgent building-regulations legislation; the Taoiseach said the Bill was not listed.
This weekend marks the anniversary of the evacuation of the Priory Hall estate. Balgaddy is another estate with serious problems.

Recently there were two explosions in the Gleann Riada estate in County Longford and buildings have been pulled down.

The Deputy must not have heard me. I remind him that this is the Order of Business and he may only refer to promised legislation.

These problems were caused by a defective sewage system which resulted in the build-up of gases. When will the building regulations Bill be brought before the House? I have provided only a snapshot of the problems and many individual homes have been affected. The legislation is urgent.
