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

I thank the Deputy for raising the issue of defective apartments. It is a big issue in my constituency too. Many of the homes in my constituency were built around the same time as many of those in her constituency and unfortunately there are a lot of problems with fire risk, water ingress and other issues. We helped people with pyrite, we are helping people with mica and it is important we do the same for people in our cities who have been affected by defective apartments. I do not have a timeline on the consideration of the report but it is fair to say once the budget is done it is going to be very high on the Government's agenda. We want to see people getting help no later than next year.
