Construction Contracts Bill
Deputy O’Donovan asks when legislation protecting subcontractors on State-funded contracts will return; the Taoiseach says amendments are still being drafted and promises an update within two weeks.
I wish to ask the Taoiseach about the Construction Contracts Bill because, as he knows, there was a high-profile incident in my constituency before Christmas. A number of Deputies have raised the issue of protecting subcontractors. There is a need to ensure, with capital envelopes from the State, that subcontractors are being protected on State contracts. When will we see the legislation back in the Dáil?
