Defective Concrete Blocks: Discussion (Resumed)
Paul McAuliffe (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
Okay. I might let my colleagues take up that portion of the debate because I want to focus on a different element. There are many things in this House that we vote for or in favour of and we get frustrated in its administration and application, and I think the defective concrete block scheme is one of those. Therefore, I wish to try to identify some of the challenges that are happening to try to see where we can address them. Mr. Kelly’s contribution on the local committee in the local authority sounds interesting and I might come back to him on that. Mr. Jordan talked about a number of properties that had been remediated to date. Was that a figure of 2,000? How many properties have been remediated to date?
