What do the Ministers of State expect the report to address specifically? The owners have been left in limbo. What assurance can the Ministers of State give the owners that this will be resolved as soon as possible and that the report will give a clear indication of what they need to do to get insurance cover? If there are further reports or delays, Mr. Darby will not be able to build his house and more people like Ms McNelis's mother will have to sell premises and businesses that they have had all their lives. In some cases, the property has been passed down through generations of a family. What are the Ministers of State expecting the report to contain that will alleviate the situation for people such as those in the Public Gallery?
