Horse Racing and Construction Contracts Bills

Summary

Anthony Lawlor asks about the Horse Racing Ireland amendment Bill and implementation of the Construction Contracts Act; the former is expected next week, while the latter may require review.

When is the Horse Racing Ireland (amendment) Bill expected to come before the Dáil? It has been promised for before the summer. The Construction Contracts Act was enacted in 2013 but much of the legislation has not yet been brought forward by the relevant Minister. When can we expect it? It was brought in so all the cowboys in the Fianna Fáil tent in Galway could not get after the small subcontractors. Can we have clarity on this?

We expect the Horse Racing Ireland (amendment) Bill to be published next week. The Construction Contracts Act was enacted in 2013. There may need to be a review of some sections as to its effectiveness and how it is being implemented.
