Publication by The Ditch of the Attorney General's advice on defective blocks is doing citizens some service. The issue was caused by previous governments moving to self-certification of building materials rather than the State enforcing quality on them. Does the Tánaiste agree with the Attorney General's advice that the terms of the scheme will affect the number of applicants? Does he agree with the Attorney General that, as sure as night follows day, if homeowners are grant-aided to rebuild their homes, more will want to? Has the scheme been about reducing cost rather than assisting homeowners?
