Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

We are looking at interim measures because there are a number of apartment complexes and multi-unit developments that have very specific issues now. One of the reasons I met representatives of the insurance sector last week was to see what interim measures we can take. I am not going to delay on that. However, what I need to do, as the Deputy appreciates, is bring the recommendations to Cabinet, and that will be done before the recess. I intend at that stage to brief residents, and certainly to brief Opposition spokespeople, on that.
The Deputy used the phrase “notwithstanding the need for legislation”, but we do need legislation.
