I will be extremely brief. The crux of the issue is 100% redress and nothing less. This amendment is aimed at scrapping the asterisks and small print the Minister has put in, which, in effect, turns 100% redress into 80% redress. It means that homeowners would not be able to access it. It is completely immoral and unjust because it puts a burden on homeowners who are at no fault for this whatsoever. This is essential. The Minister should accept the amendment. I also encourage Deputy Calleary to follow the example of Deputy McHugh and vote in favour of the amendment, because he clearly agrees with it, and send the clearest possible signal to the Government.
