The figure of 100% is not off the table; it is very much on it. If the Deputy reads the comments I made the other day, I did not say anything contrary to that. Others chose to present it in a particular way and that happens sometimes, but 100% is very much under consideration. As things stand, we are working on an enhanced scheme. It is being led by the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, in consultation with the affected families. Once the scheme is developed, it will require approval from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and will then go to Cabinet. While I have seen speculation in the newspapers, as the Deputy has, I see nothing in writing and I have no information on the details of the enhanced scheme. It is being worked on by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Michael McGrath, and when it is available I am sure we will be able to share the details with people.
