More than 100 victims of apartment and duplex defects will gather this Saturday for a major public conference of the Not Our Fault campaign in the Plaza Hotel in Tallaght. They will have discussions among themselves, they will hear from activists from the Mica Action Group about its campaign and experience, and they will hear from the different political parties, all of whom are invited to come and put their position. I understand they are still waiting for a response from Fianna Fáil, by the way, on whether it will have a spokesperson there. They are determined to fight for 100% redress and nothing less. They know that is the only just and only workable solution for the 100,000 families who are going to be affected by this, most of whom do not know about it yet but who will have a bill of €25,000-plus, in some cases €70,000, coming down the road. They also demand that the State pursues the builders responsible. They will also be on the streets on 26 November as part of the Raise the Roof protest because this is part of the housing crisis and the consequence of housing policy made in the interest of builders. Will the Taoiseach get a Fianna Fáil representative to attend? Will he commit that whatever scheme is introduced will be retrospective? Will he commit to 100% redress, which is the only workable and just solution?
