Ms Mary Hurley:
That scheme has been rolled out and lots of work has been done to address that issue, which is a significant concern in Donegal and Mayo. To date, there have been 49 applications in Donegal and 39 in Mayo. Some 13 projects have been approved in Donegal and ten have been approved in Mayo. The other applications are moving through the system. Guidance has been provided to the local authorities in question. A liaison point has been set up, recognising that this has been a very traumatic experience for households. Funding is available. The National Standards Authority of Ireland, NSAI, has developed a standard to support households and determine what can be done to address the issues in their homes.
