Mattie McGrath (Tipperary, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I refer to the Rebuilding Ireland programme. I am glad that the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government is in the House. The Rebuilding Ireland home loan scheme is not working. My colleagues in the Rural Independents group and many other Deputies know of cases of people who had no problem in receiving refusals from the banks, either by telephone or email, but when they apply to the county councils, they find that there is no co-ordination between the Department and the local authorities. They are all over the place.
