Patrick Costello (GP), Dublin South-Central

I also raise the Not Our Fault campaign. Many of the affected apartments are in my constituency and I make a point of going out to talk to the campaigners every time they are here. As the previous Deputy said, this is an emergency and funding is needed now. The Tánaiste said the budget is a few months away but this money is needed now.
There are huge problems in the houses with fire hazards that needed to be addressed months ago. Not only that, but many of those affected have management companies chasing them and have built up debts. There are also insurance issues. There are huge problems because the lack of emergency funding means basic fire safety standards cannot be reached. I add my voice to the calls to make an emergency fund available now.
