Micheál Martin (Cork South-Central, Fianna Fail)

I fully accept the appalling situation in Rathmolyon, County Meath. It is a very distressing situation facing a number of individuals and families who entered into contracts in good faith for the purchase of their houses and homes in the Ringfort development. I understand the frustration and the anger. I will talk to a number of Ministers. Again, this is the behaviour of companies and individuals. There are legal frameworks governing all of this. I do not want to comment in terms of where this might go but my ultimate priority is to try to see how we can help the families concerned. Again, the State is not responsible for what has transpired here.
