Finglas housing reconstruction
Dr. Browne asked whether the fireplace grant scheme applied to reconstruction in Finglas and who would fund it. The Minister said the matter was separate and lay between the contractors, building agency and Dublin Corporation; the Chair moved on after the questions were answered.
The Minister spoke about reconstruction and compensation and said that he could not afford to pay compensation in full for work done on houses after they were built. Is this the scheme which he intends shall apply in relation to the reconstruction of the Finglas houses or what is the scheme?

No. There is no relationship between this scheme and what has happened in Finglas which was the subject matter of a previous question.

The position in Finglas, as I stated earlier, is a matter between the contractors, the building agency and Dublin Corporation.

Is the Minister prepared to pay money from the rates for a reconstruction operation of this kind or what scheme will he operate under?
