In dealing with the housing crisis the Minister, Deputy Simon Coveney, mentioned the repair and loan scheme. Last March he said the scheme was being rolled out in Carlow and Waterford. When will it get as far as County Kerry? When I come up the road every day, I look to see if I could meet any fellow who is rolling anything in our direction, but so far I have not met anyone. I am wondering if Minister Simon could get Minister Leo to give him a hand with rolling out the scheme towards County Kerry. Perhaps the Taoiseach might also give it a push. Apparently, they are very busy dealing with other matters, but if it takes three months to roll out the scheme to Carlow and Waterford, it will take three more to cover the entire Twenty-six Counties. I ask the Taoiseach to give it a push because we need the scheme in County Kerry as much as people in Carlow, Waterford or any other part of the country.
