Defective Building Materials
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-18
============================================================

Rose Conway-Walsh (SF), Mayo

The Minister needs to come to Mayo. He needs to talk to these homeowners. They are absolutely sick and tired of the scheme being presented as if somehow it is being gifted to them by the Government. What is forgotten in all of this is that these people have been failed time and again. They have been failed in the very beginning by the light regulation and in how they have been exposed to the injustices they have suffered under this scheme. It needs to be fixed once and for all.
These people never wanted to access this scheme. All they wanted was their original homes and now they find themselves in a situation, time and again, where they are continually let down by this Government. I know it was not the Minister of State's Government. I know the Fianna Fáil Government was at the behest of the builders and the people who are responsible for this but it has to be fixed.
