Emer Higgins (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I raise the case of people living in 32,000 apartments built with defects. It is something I have personal experience of. The report of the working group has been really widely welcomed by many of the constituents I am dealing with who are in this situation but it is not helping them foot the bill. Many cannot afford the remediation work and they are worried; they are worried about their safety, the costs and their insurance cover. They need help and need it now. If a tax credit for owner-occupiers was introduced in this budget, it would provide some help for some of these people immediately and it is just one of the recommendations in the report to help people in this situation, including people who have already completed works. When will this report and its recommendations be looked at and adopted?
