Did the Government discuss the issue of redress for the 100,000 apartments and duplexes affected by defects at the Cabinet meeting this morning? I know that the Minister, Deputy O’Brien, had a webinar last night with many apartment and duplex owners. They were not satisfied with that, certainly the ones I spoke to, because there was not a clear commitment to 100% redress, nor was there a clear timeline for having a redress scheme in place, nor was there a clear commitment to retrospection. The Not Our Fault campaign is having a protest tomorrow outside of the Dáil at 7 o’clock in order to press the point home that this 100% redress, with retrospection, is the only just and workable solution. If it was not discussed at Cabinet this morning and if it is the intention to discuss it next week, is that not quite problematic? Is that not a deliberate attempt to avoid parliamentary debate and public debate by doing it in the week before Christmas when the Dáil is no longer sitting?
