Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy asked a lot of questions there, which perhaps the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, might be better placed than me to answer. With regard to the legislation promised, that legislation is a priority. We intend to get it through the Dáil and the Seanad as soon as possible. I would be extremely surprised and disappointed if we cannot have the scheme up and running by the end of the year. Families in mica-affected houses have been waiting long enough.

It is incumbent on the Government to get the legislation done and on the Oireachtas to have it enacted quickly.
