On the exclusions, these are based on the cohort for whom the area they have that is affected is too small and is not worth the while of the person who has to do the clearance. nor will it cover the cost, and then those who are excluded from the scheme as it currently is. What does Mr. White think the figures are, or can he even give a rough percentage of the number of people who will be locked out of the scheme? Some just will not engage with it because it is not worth their while. They cannot afford to clear it on the €2,000, so they are not going to get involved. Why should they have to use their own money to clear up a mess that was not of their own making? They are not happy with the scheme so they will not engage. I know it is perhaps hard to say but what percentage of people would Mr. White say are excluded from this scheme?
