I wish to raise the plight of householders in the Carrickmines multi-unit development in south County Dublin. As we know, after the financial crash the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, took over the estate and became the developer through its appointed receiver. A range of defects became apparent in the development and while some remedial works were carried out, in 2017 the owners' management company, OMC, had a review carried out and there are still quite a number of identified issues and defects remaining. The OMC has refused to agree to a handover from the receiver of the development to its management due to these issues. We know a court case is due to take place next week with the receiver operating on behalf of NAMA taking the OMC to court. When will we see an effective scheme for redress for the many homeowners who through no fault of their own in Carrickmines and elsewhere now face massive bills for the costs associated with remedying defects that were left in developments? The finance Bill is to be published on Thursday. Will we see a redress scheme in that Bill for homeowners?
