Mr. Derek Rafferty:

I speak regularly with homeowner representatives, including in Mayo. We have visited homes in Mayo. We in the Department have quite a bit of interaction with homeowner representatives. I am aware of the concerns around the costs of the scheme. No one has specifically told me about a deficit or issue they have. The only thing I became aware of was in that broader group. Subsequently, there was a view that that is not the case, but we are at this moment going to work with homeowners to put forward that proposal.
