Question No. 158 is on retrospectiveness. I very much welcomed the Minister when he said retrospectiveness would be considered in the building defects redress scheme, as did the people in Mayo and Donegal. I want to tease that out further with the Minister. He said earlier that it was provided the work was certified. Will he better explain what we need to do? We need to give homeowners, with whom I spoke this morning, guidance as to how they can prepare in terms of the audit trail that might be needed. We are only talking about a very small number of houses. We have fought for the inclusion of retrospectiveness for years, as has the Minister's colleague in Mayo, the Minister of State, Deputy Calleary. We are very much at one with this. We want to get it right and for homeowners to be prepared and have everything ready for when it is available.
