Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

In June, thousands of homeowners and families affected by the mica and pyrite scandal travelled to Government Buildings in order to send a clear message, which was that they would not be forgotten. While I will ask the Minister about his involvement and responsibility in ensuring these families get 100% redress, I want to focus on families looking to move house because their houses are crumbling before them. However, since they already own a house that is mica-affected, they are required to have the 20% deposit. There is no equity in their houses. Has the Minister engaged with financial institutions, some of which he is a major shareholder in, to deal with this issue and ensure that they use the scope they have to make sure mica-affected families are properly addressed?
