It is to the amendment. We are specifically talking about cost inflation. If we accept that there is cost inflation in the market, we also have to acknowledge that if it is 35% above what Sinn Féin provided for in November 2021, then the party was not providing enough in the first place, which we all know is the case.

I look forward to the Minister's response on this. I know the scheme is adaptable in order to provide for inflation. It is important when discussing all of today's amendments that we are mindful of homeowners. I received an email from a mica-affected homeowner who stated that the reason for writing to me was because there is so much confusion around the supports for mica homeowners and this is adding to the additional stress. The onus is on all of us in the House not to confuse people about the significant package of supports being put in place by the Government to assist homeowners.
