The Government has confirmed its support for the Construction Contracts Bill which was introduced in the Seanad by Senator Feargal Quinn. In this regard, the Government is working closely with the Senator to develop a robust piece of legislation that provides a remedy to parties operating at various levels under a construction contract when payments are not forthcoming. This is a complex area. Amendments are being drafted with the aim of having the Bill progress to Committee Stage in the Seanad in the next few weeks.
