Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I certainly welcome CBS Charleville to Dáil Éireann. I hope they have a fruitful, enjoyable and enlightening day. I wish Maddie a very happy birthday. I presume it is because of her birthday that everyone is here to enjoy themselves.
In respect of the defective blocks scheme, the State was anxious to recover some revenue, given the extraordinary outlay involved in the defective concrete blocks scheme. The industry bears some responsibility for what transpired - not everyone in the industry but certain players in the industry do. The State felt there was a necessity to get some back. There are issues, however, and we will continue to keep this scheme under review.
