My question is to the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Eoghan Murphy. I am seeking an update from the Minister in regard to the mica redress scheme, which has been long promised for homeowners in Donegal. Some 5,000 people have been waiting for years at this stage for the scheme to be delivered and for houses to be repaired. I ask the Minister to confirm the status of this scheme. I understand from comments made locally by the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy McHugh, that it is with the Attorney General. Does this mean that the Cabinet is agreed in regard to the structure of the scheme and can the Minister give a commitment in regard to when the scheme will be operational and work on house repairs will commence?
