Fire Safety
Dail Éireann — 2023-11-09
============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

The legislation will be detailed and we need legislation to underpin this scheme. We have worked collaboratively on this. The Housing Agency is the lead agency on this and it has extensive experience in that regard. The legislation will be published next year and with the co-operation of Members across the House we can work together to get that through as expeditiously as possible. This scheme will be with us for a number of years so we need to get the legislation right and correct. That is not holding back the implementation of the interim measures scheme. I am also looking at what we can do with retrospective payments next year. We can do that on an administrative basis in advance of the legislation being passed. It is important that we get this right, which all Members will agree on. Our goal and main objective is to help residents get their homes and lives back together and we will do that. It will be a 100% redress scheme for affected homeowners. I look forward to continuing-----
