Yesterday, tens of thousands of homeowners and tenants who have been affected by Celtic tiger-era defects were desperately hoping that there would be a redress scheme announced in the budget. Instead, they heard by way of correspondence from the Minister that he is going to set up an interdepartmental agency group and advisory forum and that proposals for progressing some form of scheme will be delivered by the end of the year. Many of those homeowners are nervous that they will experience long delays before a new redress scheme will be open and available. Can the Minister outline what exactly his intention is and when a scheme will be available for these effected homeowners to get the redress they rightly deserve?
