I was first elected as a councillor in 2009 in an area of Dublin where a lot of pyrite was emerging in housing estates. It is terrible to see that, more than ten years on, a lot of the issues that residents in those areas were raising - the same issues of access to core testing and so on - are still not being addressed properly.

As for the general scheme and head 24, which is about subrogation of rights, does the Donegal action group think that part of the scheme might leave homeowners in a situation in which they face a choice of either pursuing class actions for justice or that they might be reluctant to sign up to this redress scheme because they have to sign away their rights? If the redress scheme is not modified, do the witnesses think that will be an issue? Will the witnesses expand on issues with costs?
