I ask the Minister of State to please explain the example I gave relating to Martina Hegarty. It is on the record. She will receive €161,000 under this scheme. It will cost €200,000 to rebuild her house. There is a shortfall. Will the Minister of State please address that issue? It is not just for me. These amendments are the homeowners' amendments. They are watching this afternoon from Limerick, Clare, Mayo, Sligo and Donegal. The Minister of State and his team are saying that this is a 100% redress scheme. It is not. Please address the example and explain how that is a 100% redress scheme.I look forward to hearing the Minister of State's response, and I suspect that the people watching at home are particularly looking forward to his response. It would be outrageous, frankly, if he were to remain silent on the question.
