Manus Boyle (Fine Gael)

Last week, I travelled the length and breadth of Donegal and looked at houses with defective blocks. To see the scale was overwhelming. It is enormous. I never thought it was so bad. I saw the anger and pain of people about this scheme, which is working for some but not for others. Senators can imagine how it was with my phone last night when the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, came on and announced a pyrite scheme for the people of Finglas. That is brilliant for Finglas. We have nothing against the people in Finglas. It is great they are getting a scheme but, once again, Donegal is coming up short. I ask that the Minister, Deputy Browne, come to the House for a discussion on the mica redress scheme. That needs to be done because it has been going on for 20 years in Donegal. There are supposed to be changes coming. I would like the Minister to come in and tell us what is coming, what can be done to ease the pressure on the people in Donegal and whether we can get this to move forward. Changes can be made that would help people. Can we get the Minister in and ask him what is going and what is going to change to try to help the people of Donegal?
