Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (Deputy Jan O’Sullivan)

Within the resources that are available to me the focus of my efforts, and the efforts of the National Co-ordination Committee, is on public safety issues within Category 3 and 4, unfinished housing developments. I have no function in respect of commercial property.
