Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

Over 150 people gathered for a major public conference at the weekend as part of the Not Our Fault campaign. These people, who are affected by apartment and duplex defects, are facing huge bills of up to €68,000 for defects caused through no fault of theirs. They are the fault of Fianna Fáil-Fine Gael legislation which allowed self-certification and builders who abused that measure. The people in question were very disappointed that no Government representatives attended, despite repeated invitations. They had a clear message. We understand the Minister is due to bring a proposal to Government before the end of the year. If it is anything less than 100% redress, with full retrospection, it will not be accepted.
The Minister will have a mica-style major protest movement on his hands. Is there a date for the scheme the Minister will propose coming into effect?
