Defective Building Materials
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-01
============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

This scheme is going to be with us for a number of years, unfortunately. The work that is being carried out is very important. Some 28,000 different homes have participated in that survey so we now have the best handle on the scale and type of defects that exist.
We will not delay. I thank the residents who have continued to engage with us in a very constructive way. The Government will help these homeowners. I have stated that it is a nettle we need to grasp, and we will do so. We will be looking at retrospection as well, because I am acutely aware that approximately 14% of households have already remediated their homes. I will keep all Deputies present fully apprised of the position.
