Defective Building Materials

Yes, it is for defective blocks and I want to be very clear on that. The Minister, Deputy McConalogue, in particular, has been in contact with me, as have other interested Deputies, on that point. I believe there will be a very small number of homeowners in the affected regions who have had work completed. It will have to be certified and invoiced appropriately, etc., for it to access the scheme but I intend that will be part of the regulations we publish.
Importantly, when these regulations are published, the joint Oireachtas committee will have full sight of them and we will work through the scheme. Nobody should stop making an application. Homes have been remediated already in Mayo and in Donegal and that continues to be the case.
