The Taoiseach constantly refers to the satisfaction level with the old mica redress scheme. Within one month of the announcement of the intention to introduce a new scheme, we, in County Mayo, submitted 18 different suggested changes to make it workable. The Taoiseach is not correct to say that we did not submit suggestions. We went through the old scheme painstakingly.

I want to clarify some points. Does the 100% redress mean 100% redress to rebuild? Will that exclude nobody impacted by pyrite? Does it include the planning, demolition, engineering and architect costs? Homeowners who have been forced to emigrate are now returning home. Will they be included in the scheme? Is there retrospective provision for the small number of homeowners who had to rebuild before the scheme came into effect? I ask the Taoiseach to clear up as many of those questions as possible.
