Joe Carey (FG), Clare

Householders in County Clare are anxiously awaiting admission to the enhanced defective concrete block scheme. Further laboratory analysis of affected homes in County Clare has taken place and categorically demonstrates the presence of pyrite. The work was carried out by Clare County Council, in conjunction with the engineer, Mr. Simon Beale. It clearly warrants the immediate extension of the defective concrete blocks scheme to County Clare. Will the Taoiseach confirm to the House that the enhanced defective concrete block scheme will be underpinned by legislation as opposed to a statutory instrument? Will he also confirm that pre-legislative scrutiny of the Bill will take place? When does he expect this legislation will come before the House?
