It would be sensible for the Minister to come back in relation to amendment No. 5 and lay a report before the House of the Oireachtas on transitioning this scheme to an end-to-end scheme that provides 100% redress. In amendment No. 6, we are asking for the end-to-end remediation scheme for all those impacted by defective concrete blocks.
In amendment No. 7, we have put forward an amendment dealing with the fact that what is required is an end-to-end remediation scheme for all those impacted by defective concrete blocks and related building materials. On amendment No. 5, as the Deputies are aware the defective concrete blocks grant scheme is a grant scheme of last resort to provide financial assistance to affected homeowners to remediate their homes and move on with their lives.
