Michael McGrath: I move:That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend and extend the Personal Injuries Assessment Board Acts 2003 and 2007.

Michael McGrath: I am pleased to raise this critically important and urgent issue.

Home Building Finance Ireland Bill 2018: Second Stage (5 Jul 2018)

Michael McGrath: The Minister has said it cannot. Therefore, the finding is only for the construction. Those who bring forward schemes will still have to find 100% of the acquisition costs elsewhere.
