Questions on Promised Legislation

About two months ago, I asked the Taoiseach about the report of the expert panel on defective concrete blocks which had identified that there were some 5,000 homes between Counties Donegal and Mayo affected by defective blocks as a result of mica in those blocks. In some cases, the homes are falling down and crumbling. I asked the Taoiseach two months ago had the report been discussed by Cabinet and he indicated that it had not. Has it been discussed since then? The deadline for the report's publication passed a year and a half ago, and what the homeowners have been waiting on since is a Government commitment that a funding scheme will be put in place to help remedy those homes in the same way it was done for the pyrite homes. Will the Taoiseach give us an update and a commitment on this today?
