Construction, valuation and pyrite Bills
Deputy Bernard Durkan seeks timetables for the Construction Contracts Bill, the Valuation (Amendment) Bill and pyrite-levy legislation. The Tánaiste says the first two are at committee stages and that the pyrite Bill’s heads have been approved, with publication expected shortly.
The Construction Contracts Bill 2010 originated in the Seanad and has been referred to select committee. When is it expected that the Bill will come before the House for final consideration and when is it expected that it will be signed into law? Similarly, the Valuation (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill is on the Seanad Order Paper. When does the Tánaiste expect it to appear before the House for final consideration? The pyrite levy Bill deals with an issue which has occupied the minds of many Members and people outside the House for a long time. Can the Tánaiste set out the current anticipated timeline for its passage?
Comment on this
The Construction Contracts Bill is on Committee Stage and the matter is in the hands of the House itself. The Valuation (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill is on Committee Stage in the Seanad. The heads of the pyrite levy Bill were approved by Government a couple of weeks ago and I expect that we will see its publication shortly.
