Building control legislation

Summary

Noel Grealish raised alleged document falsification affecting a Galway subcontractor and sought legislation protecting subcontractors. The Taoiseach clarified that the relevant building control Bill was expected later in the year.

I refer to a situation in Galway in which Bam Contractors Limited altered and falsified a subcontractor's document for its own benefit while a case between the contractor and subcontractor was going through the adjudication process and only admitted it afterwards. When will the contractors' Bill come before the Dáil to protect subcontractors and prevent their blatant abuse by major construction companies such as Bam Contractors limited?

Does the Deputy refer to the Construction Contracts Act 2013? It has been enacted already.
