Eileen Flynn (IND), Administrative Panel

I brought sweets because I do not have a note in my head but it is a good, uplifting wee hour.
I will talk about defective blocks and 100% redress. I know that households are treated differently from services. There are many schools and childcare facilities in County Donegal - I am sure it is the same in Mayo and other counties affected by defective blocks. I am sure Senators would welcome a discussion on what can be done for childcare providers. My two children attend the local crèche in Ardara. It is an amazing service for all the children in Ardara. Next week, that service may not be fit for use because the building is affected by mica. Some services in rural communities are not included in the 100% redress scheme. That is a conversation I would like to bring to the floor of this House.
