Defective Building Materials

============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

The figures show we have 1,970 applications to the new scheme. I have given the Deputy the figures with regard to homes under remediation. I want to see those figures increase.
The proposal from the banks about 0% interest finance is with the Department of Finance. By the way, what has also been sought by the banks is a State guarantee on those loans. There can be ways to expedite the initial payments and the staged payments and we will absolutely look at that.
