Nikki Bradley (FG), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I would like to raise the issue of defective concrete blocks and ask for an update on increased payments. When I became a Senator, the first thing I did was take it upon myself to visit the families affected by this devastation. There were no cameras or fanfare; it was just me sitting down with families. What I saw I will never forget. We need an update and for this to be taken seriously. Every single person in Donegal has been affected by this, my family included. I was led to believe that an update was coming and I am not sure what is happening now. I would welcome any positive news that could come our way because we really need it. Furthermore, I would like to invite the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, to address this issue and have a conversation around it.
