A, B and C report legislation
Micheál Martin asks when legislation responding to the expert report on A, B and C v. Ireland will come before the House.
Just before I came to the Chamber I received a copy of the report of the expert group on the judgment in A, B and C v. Ireland case, as well as the accompanying press release from the Minister. The Tánaiste has promised legislation, while a Fine Gael Minister told RTE that we would be surprised by the speed of the Government's response to the report and that legislation would be taken in the House as early as February. Will the Taoiseach indicate when legislative proposals in response to the report of the expert group will be brought before the House?
On a separate matter, I ask about the Construction Contracts Bill 2010. This Bill was published by Senator Feargal Quinn and the Government promised that it would pass through the Dáil before Christmas. Last Friday I met the Limerick subcontractors who had to occupy a school in Kilfinane to forcibly try to achieve some payments.
