Defective Building Materials
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-22
============================================================

Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

I am taking this question on behalf of Deputy Pringle, who has followed up this issue at every available opportunity but just unfortunately cannot be here at this moment.
My question is what plans the Minister has to make the defective homes redress scheme accessible for the difficult cases where it is more feasible to build a replacement home beside a defective property and then demolish it, rather than on the footprint. I will come back in on the details of what I mean by those exceptional cases.
