The other question is about the extent of the defective block issue across the country. Obviously, enormous credit is due to the campaign that started in Donegal. Initially we thought the problem was confined to Donegal, but then there was Mayo and now we realise that the extent is far greater. Limerick and Clare have recently been included. Many believe we are still only finding out the extent of the problem. To what extent do the witnesses believe there may be other counties affected by defective blocks and is there a possibility of including those counties in the scheme?
