I have a question for the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government on the progress or indeed the lack of progress on the publication of a mica redress scheme for 5,000 homeowners in County Donegal, and some in County Mayo, whose houses in many cases are crumbling around them. This is something the Government promised as far back as the budget last year. The delays we have seen over recent months are unacceptable. The Government needs to get its act together on this and publish this scheme immediately so that we can see houses being remedied and families taken out of the distress and misery they have been experiencing as a result of this unfortunate situation.

I thank Deputy McConalogue for the question. I appreciate the Deputy's patience in this matter. He has raised it on a number of occasions, as have colleagues of mine from Donegal and Mayo. I thank all those who are affected by this for their patience as well. I met campaigners when I visited Donegal in January.

We have agreement in principle. We made that agreement at Cabinet level at the budget. My Department and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform have been in intense discussions since then and in recent weeks over what that scheme would look like, something that is almost complete, and the amount of funding that could be put to it in the initial years. That work is almost there. When it is there, it will be brought to Cabinet as a priority.
