The foundations are an absolutely integral part of the scheme. The homeowners that are here today from Mayo know this. They can tell us that the foundations are not fit for purpose in some cases. Will the Minister please just allow the flexibility there with the applications within the system, so that homeowners watching this will know they can make an application and if the foundations need to be replaced, they will have them replaced. Who is going to sign off on the scheme? If an engineer knows that the foundations are not fit to rebuild on, who is going to sign off on it and who will insure that building?
