Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages
I support Senator Boylan. I welcome that Senators Cummins and Blaney have acknowledged that this is not a 100% redress scheme.

Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages
I ask the Minister of State to please explain the example I gave relating to Martina Hegarty. It is on the record. She will receive €161,000 under this scheme. It will cost €200,000 to rebuild her house. There is a shortfall. Will the Minister of State please address that issue? It is not just for me. These amendments are the homeowners' amendments.

People watching this debate are waiting to see if the Government is going to listen, in any way, to their concerns. This is their amendment.
