Concrete Block Levy: Discussion
Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
Many of the homeowners are obviously continuing to pay the mortgages they have with financial institutions. They face a lengthy process to even get accepted onto the old scheme in the first instance, and they are waiting for the second scheme. We have heard in different committees about the shortfall families will have to make up themselves. Ms Hone touched on that in her opening statement. If a levy like this was introduced, whether at €1,200 or €2,000, would the additional impact on rebuilding tip people over the edge or are they already tipped over the edge? What is the impact of this from talking to people who are members of Ms Hone's group?
