Given that we are talking about a defective block levy, I will start with Ms Hone if that is okay. We are very conscious that it is now a year since the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy O'Brien, announced that enhancements would be made to the redress scheme. One year later can Ms Hone describe the situation and the human impact on the ground in her county of Donegal and in the north west for those who have seen their homes crumble and the impact this announcement is having in terms of them being able to rebuild?
