I welcome all our guests, especially the representatives from the Mayo Pyrite Action group, Ms Hegarty and Ms Murphy.

I will stick to the issue of costs. The proposed scheme is suggesting an upper cap of €420,000 for homeowners to rebuild homes. However, a secondary cap on the square footage rate has also been put in place. I thank Mr. Houton for his update on costs. For local builders and developers to deliver on these rebuilding challenges, what implications will this have in the current climate of high inflation in the cost of construction materials?
