Reform of the Defective Concrete Redress Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (15 Oct 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: I wish to make three main points in my contribution: building defects are a legacy of lack of oversight from this Government; it is clear the parameters around redress are wrong and we are leaving people behind so let us fix it; and, finally, the burden for fixing this problem has been placed until now, on people who did not do anything wrong. Building defects are a legacy of a lack of...
