Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank Deputy McHugh for raising this important issue. We are very keen to have the regulations done in the next couple of weeks. I spoke with the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, about this recently and he will engage directly with Deputy McHugh on it. Certainly, by this time next year I want to be in a position where we are seeing hundreds of homes in Donegal being repaired or being demolished and rebuilt. We are keen to get the scheme up and running as soon as possible. I do not want to go into any of the details about that right now but I am aware that the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, will speak to the Deputy, and I will speak to him directly as well.
