Defective Building Materials
Dail Éireann — 2023-06-22
============================================================

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

I want again to raise the difficulties being experienced by homeowners in my own county of Donegal and elsewhere in regard to those affected with defective blocks. They were failed by the Government scheme, which failed to provide 100% redress. Despite this, homeowners are doing their best to work with the scheme and rebuild their homes and lives. However, serious problems remain from funding shortfalls they face around terms and conditions to their mortgage agreements. I acknowledge the Minister agreed to meet with the group and I appreciate that, in relation to our last engagement, when he indicated that. I know that has happened. Will the Minister update the Dáil on the engagement he had with the lenders and with the representative group to address these problems?
