Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I do not want this process to be equated with questions of trust. We understand the challenges being faced by homeowners. I do not want it to be inferred in any way that by not accepting this amendment, we have in any way issues with trust with regard to the very serious matters being raised.

There are reasons that I have advanced for why this exemption is structured as it is. It is based on how we have dealt with similar issues elsewhere. As I said, there is a process under way to try to consider this that is due to conclude shortly. I would not like it to be inferred that the motivation behind this is in any way about questions of trust. We understand how serious this is and we are doing our best to respond to it.
