Darragh O'Brien (Dublin Fingal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am allowed to respond, Deputy Ó Broin. People can get their homes back on track and get their lives back on track. That is what we want. We want engagement from the Housing Agency as well, which will be there, and resourcing of the agency on the ground. There are independent appeals and independent assessments.

This is a vast improvement on the previous scheme, and I thank the residents for the work they have done in ensuring that we got this far. What the Oireachtas has to do this week and next week is pass the legislation so we can put the new scheme in place and make sure that it works for residents. I am absolutely confident that it will. I will not accept the amendment.
