Banking Sector: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-03-03
============================================================

Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

I listened to what Deputy Mac Lochlainn said. I was very much aware of this issue when I was Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform and of the significant difficulty many families faced as a result of dealing with the awful effect of mica on the structure of their family home. In truth, I was not aware of the issues the Deputy just raised with me, so I will have to check the correspondence he sent me and then revert to him. I accept the seriousness of the issue, but of late I have not been as involved in it as I was when the scheme to which the Deputy referred was designed. I will revert to the Deputy with an answer to the correspondence he has sent to me.
