I join in Deputy Doherty's concern for those households where people's homes have such a fundamental problem. I introduced a scheme in June last year. As I understand it, there are differences between what happened to properties on the east coast and what happened in the Donegal and Mayo areas. I do not have the details, but it appears to be a much more extensive problem, with higher costs and much greater difficulties. I have heard from other Deputies about this problem and I commit to talking to the Minister to see about a review of the current scheme and if it is not working and not solving the problem for householders, to go back to see what sort of revision needs to be put in place to make sure it meets the needs of the householders involved. This has happened through no fault of their own and not through their actions in any way. We do have to address the problems.
