Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2022-07-14
============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

Senator Blaney will get his chance to speak and, believe me, people in Donegal will be watching this afternoon. I am going to point to the example given at the Committee on Housing, Local Government, and Heritage, so it is on the public record, where Martina Hegarty, in a 90 sq. m house under this scheme is entitled to a grant of €161,000. The cheapest quote that she can get to rebuild the house is €200,000. This is all on the public record and Senator Cummins would have attended this meeting as well. I have a simple question for the Minister of State. How is that 100% redress?
