Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Certainly, I will refer this to the Minister for housing. Regarding the defective concrete block scheme, there has been very significant progress. Approximately 3,500 applications have been received, 1,289 applicants have commenced remediation works, 527 homes have completed remediation and 1,462 have submitted remedial works. We have spent about €322 million on the scheme so far. In relation to supports, of course people should get support in facilitating them in accessing the scheme, particularly those who are vulnerable and elderly. There have been ongoing amendments and so on in respect of the Act and the legislative framework that governs the defective block programme. I will talk to the Minister in respect of the issues the Deputy raised.
