The Taoiseach was asked a question by Deputy Keogh from Mayo, one of the counties affected by defective concrete blocks. I received a reply to a parliamentary recently from the Minister for housing, which confirms that under the pyrite remediation scheme, almost 3,000 families in Dublin and north Leinster received 100% redress under a State-run scheme, and absolutely rightly so. Why are families and homeowners in counties Donegal, Mayo, Sligo, Limerick and Clare treated like second-class citizens? Why do they have to find tens of thousands of euro, in some cases more than €100,000, to make their homes safe through a grant scheme? When will the Government change the scheme to make sure all citizens who are victims of these scandals are treated equally and fairly across the State?
