Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

As I was coming in yesterday evening, I met the group outside and had a chat with them. I subsequently met the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, and discussed the issue with him. He will revert to the group concerned. As Deputy Ó Broin will know, this is a major new scheme with a potential cost of between €1.5 billion and €2.5 billion. It will be one of the most comprehensive remediation schemes in the world, in keeping with the Government's commitment in respect of defective concrete blocks and pyrite. The scheme will be designed in such a way that owner management companies will be funded to carry out the necessary remediation works with specific limitations or exemptions on certain commercial owners. I expect that the Minister will come back shortly on the specific issue that has been raised of emergency funding.
