Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

It has been a difficult process and a disaster for people who worked hard, got their mortgages, bought their houses and found there was a problem. The Government has commissioned the report and focused on what happened, the scale of the problem and what needs to be done. The report clearly points to the setting up of a resolution board where all of those involved - quarries, contractors, insurance companies and others - would sit around a table. If they are unable to come up with a voluntary solution, the Government will consider imposing a levy on the industry. The people affected deserve to have their houses repaired.
