The Deputy will appreciate the constraints that apply in replying to a "details supplied" Question of this nature.
The scheme to which the Deputy appears to be referring commenced in 2006 and was closed to new applicants in April 2010. The scheme was entirely funded by the Exchequer and at its peak had an annual allocation of circa €5 million per annum. Plans approved under the scheme were typically of a 5-year duration. My Department is honouring contracted commitments to the end of that period and I am advised that all valid claims have been processed in a timely manner.
