Thomas Pringle (IND), Donegal

The Tánaiste visited County Donegal in the past week, where he visited a home destroyed by mica and met the Mica Action Group. It was reported that he was not aware that reconstruction was to be on the existing foundations of houses affected by mica. It is a mind-boggling revelation at this stage that Government Ministers are not up to speed on this issue as they have been making significant decisions that affect people's lives. The Mica Action Group has recently written to Deputies, pleading with them to ensure that promised legislation goes through the pre-legislative scrutiny process. I ask the Taoiseach to get this right because it has to be done. I ask him to commit to pre-legislative scrutiny for the mica legislation as a matter of urgency to ensure the legislation is right and proper.
