Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (SF), Donegal

No. Six months on, this really is a do-nothing Government. Hundreds of families in Donegal and the west of Ireland have waited ten months for it to honour its promise to bring in a simple amendment to legislation to ensure the increase in the cap for defective block homeowners applies to people already in the scheme.
That means they cannot make the final payments to builders. The Government is now pushing the issue on for two more months. A simple amendment any legislator here could have done in hours is all that is needed. The Government has not honoured this for ten months. It is a do-nothing Government. It is outrageous how the Government has treated those homeowners.
