180 Deputy Phil Hogan asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he is satisfied that all measures relating to consumer protection regarding housing construction are appropriate to the current difficulties in the housing market; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12107/10]
View answerMy Department is aware of the concerns of consumers of housing services in current market conditions, including in regard to unfinished or partially completed residential developments. The Department is working with other stakeholders to develop a fuller picture of the scale of these difficulties in terms of mapping such developments on a county by county basis, setting out the range of statutory powers at the disposal of the relevant agencies and determining what further measures might need to be considered.
