Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation

Alan Dillon (FG), Mayo

I seek assurance that the working group on the defective concrete blocks grant scheme for thousands of affected families in counties Mayo and Donegal will conclude its report, as promised, on Thursday, 30 September. I am conscious the group had previously intended to report to the Minister by 31 July, but I understand this was postponed at the request of homeowner representatives on the working group. The scale of the pyrite and mica crisis is difficult to comprehend in Mayo, north Mayo and Donegal, with many local authorities in Clare, Limerick and Sligo looking to enter the scheme. While I understand this is a complex issue and I recognise the Government's commitment to get it right, I would greatly appreciate an update on it.
