I agree with the Deputy. The Central Bank's decision to change the definition to allow separated people to be able to avail of the first-time buyers scheme seems fair, correct and just. I am loath to commit to anything, as it is the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage who must make the decision, but I will pass on the Deputy's comments in that regard and I am sure he will consider it in a timely way.
