Yesterday the Government announced a multi-billion euro scheme for the victims of the cowboys who built defective apartments. The measures, such as 100% redress, victims being fully supported by the Housing Agency, financial assistance for those who already carried out work, remediation works based on up-to-date regulations and whole apartments being done, are all very welcome but there is a significant hurt, as the Tánaiste must be aware. In counties Donegal, Mayo, Sligo, Clare and Limerick, people who live in defective concrete block homes have legislation that is not giving any of that. Will the Government urgently amend the Remediation of Dwellings Damaged By the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Act 2022 to make sure all these schemes give the victims 100% redress and the same fairness and treatment by the State?
