686. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government further to Parliamentary Question No. 1237 of 8 September 2025, if there is a timeline for the passage of this legislation once completed; if there is a further timeline for when qualified recipients will receive payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Apartments and Duplex Defects Remediation Statutory Scheme is expected to be established shortly after the passage of the legislation, the timeline for which is subject to Oireachtas process but will be done as quickly as possible. The General Scheme will be made available to undergo pre-legislative scrutiny as soon as is practicable and I would anticipate this happening in the Dáil Autumn term.

The Scheme will provide supports for the remediation of relevant fire safety, structural safety and water ingress defects in purpose-built apartment buildings, including duplexes, constructed between 1991 and 2013. It is envisaged that 100% of eligible remediation costs will be funded; however, it is not currently possible to indicate a precise timeline for when qualified recipients will receive payment under the Scheme.
