Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Finance and Economics: Discussion (13 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am sharing my time with Mr. Hazzard. I welcome all the witnesses here today. I value their contribution. It has been a most interesting discussion. They will know this discussion is taking place in the context of us following on from the Seanad discussions on our constitutional future. This committee, being about the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement, is obviously examining...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Finance and Economics: Discussion (13 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: We have obviously seen the links and the reorientation of the supply chains in terms of goods North and South as well. There is also a relationship between the South and Britain. It does not mean there is a zero situation whereby all ties are cut off and there are no longer east-west supply chains. I do not want to take up more time on that point. Obviously, the EU said it would welcome...

Rose Conway-Walsh: I have a number of questions and I would really appreciate some straight answers. The first one is for Mr. Kelly. Ms Hegarty made a point about the building condition surveys that have been done so far. Are they going to accepted on to the new scheme without going back on those further? Please give a yes-no answer.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Block Scheme Regulations and Review of IS 465: Discussion (13 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Does that mean that they will? I really need to get to the bottom of this and I need to get to it straight. We have heard from Engineers Ireland that the homes will not be insurable. They say they will not get professional indemnity insurance on the basis of this scheme because it is not fit for purpose. Does Mr. Ó Coigligh agree or disagree with that statement?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Block Scheme Regulations and Review of IS 465: Discussion (13 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Ms Hegarty brought up the issue of the scheme being retrospective. The Minister promised publicly that this scheme would be retrospective. We do not see retrospection mentioned anywhere. That was for people whose homes were collapsing and they had to do work on them. Where is the retrospective element?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Block Scheme Regulations and Review of IS 465: Discussion (13 Jul 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Block Scheme Regulations and Review of IS 465: Discussion (13 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It is a very significant issue and it needs to be in this scheme. I ask the Department to please look into this. Many people in Mayo are concerned that the thresholds will exclude some people from the scheme. There is a visual impact to this. People will have to sit and wait and watch their homes while they further deteriorate, knowing that they are going to have to rebuild them at some...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Block Scheme Regulations and Review of IS 465: Discussion (13 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: In providing that, the scheme will exclude people and will ask people to continue in the torturous situation where they have to watch and wait for the cracks to get just a little bit larger before the scheme is done. That must be looked at. I want to give an example of a real-life situation regarding the idea of 100%. This is not a made-up story; this is absolutely real. It is a home in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Block Scheme Regulations and Review of IS 465: Discussion (13 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am really sorry but I have been ten years dealing with this and I am running out of patience. How can we call the scheme 100% when we have this real-life situation of a €102,000 shortfall? I could give other examples but this is a specific one.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Block Scheme Regulations and Review of IS 465: Discussion (13 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It is not a 100% scheme. Mr. Ó Coigligh spoke about "the vast majority". I know this is a political situation and there are people involved in devising the scheme. Mr. Ó Coigligh said the vast majority of those who need help will get the financial assistance they need, except for some of them. The test for this scheme has always been that everybody who was impacted would have a...
