Jennifer Murnane O'Connor (FF), Carlow-Kilkenny

I understand people living with defective concrete in their homes experience real challenges. You can see it - families are really affected by this. That is why our Departments are working together to get the funding to get this done. The scheme is a major commitment by the State to help impacted homeowners to move on with their lives. We have to make sure the families who need counselling or support get it and that there is a commitment from Government. We know mould and damp can have a huge impact on people's health and well-being. I will work with the Deputy on that to prioritise. I will go back to the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, about what is in her remit and mine. We will talk to the Minister for housing because it involves different Departments. I thank the Deputy for highlighting this important and serious issue today.
