Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation

 

12:50 pm

I thank the Deputy for raising the issue. The Minister gave a commitment in January to draft the legislation to establish the supports in the defects in apartments scheme. Some degree of due process is necessary in this regard, but I will talk to the Minister about specific cases the Deputy has identified, if there are specific cases. The Minister's response has been comprehensive as regards the scale of the scheme he has announced. We are looking at an overall cost of between €1.5 billion and €2.5 billion. That is welcome news but the Deputy is saying there are immediate cases. It is now the second quarter of 2023. If we could get the legislation passed before the end of this year, we would be in a position to launch the scheme forthwith.
