I do not know whether the Taoiseach saw the "Prime Time" story on Thursday which was a powerful exposé of the context of apartment and duplex defects, the horrendous situation facing the victims and the responsibility for the system of self-certification introduced by Fianna Fáil. It focused, in particular, on those living in The Crescent, Park West, who are facing an incredible bill of €68,500 to fix defects that are not their fault and that they could not possibly have known about, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. Up to 100,000 people are in similar situations, but most of them do not know it yet.

Will the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage meet the residents of The Crescent, Park West, and other developments who are working together in the Not Our Fault campaign? After the way it has treated these people, why is Harcourt Developments, the developer in Park West, in receipt of massive sums of public money through, for example, the regeneration scheme of Waterford’s north quays?
