Will the Taoiseach ensure the quick passage of the Construction Contracts Bill 2010 in order that it can be enacted to provide the necessary protection? In the spirit of the Bill, will he ensure the contract at Loreto secondary school in Kilkenny where the contractor has gone broke and 160 jobs are at stake-----

The Deputy is straying from the point.

Will the Taoiseach ensure the contractors are paid and will be allowed to have a representative present at a meeting with the Department of Education and Skills on Wednesday? There are 160 families affected by this €5 million contract.

I ask the Deputy to co-operate.

The subcontractors have been caught again. I ask the Taoiseach to investigate the matter fully.

The Deputy may not make such a request on the Order of Business.

The Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Ruairí Quinn, will respond to the Deputy on the matter he raises. The Construction Contracts Bill is awaiting Committee Stage and we will see to it that the Whips have it taken as quickly as possible.
