I noted this morning that what is described as a senior Government source is now briefing the media that 100% redress for families affected by the mica issue is now being considered. This is some position shift from the Tánaiste's statements of last week and, as always, there are caveats with this latest kite-flying exercise, which is testing the waters to see what might be acceptable. It is nothing to see this Government all over the place on an issue. I have to say "fair play" to the Donegal mica redress campaigners because the pressure of their protest is clearly moving the Government's position on the issue in the right direction by the day. Their message is clear; 100% redress, nothing less. Will we see a Cabinet decision on mica redress in the first week of October as the Taoiseach stated in New York last night or should we expect more delays from the Government?

The figure of 100% is not off the table; it is very much on it. If the Deputy reads the comments I made the other day, I did not say anything contrary to that. Others chose to present it in a particular way and that happens sometimes, but 100% is very much under consideration. As things stand, we are working on an enhanced scheme. It is being led by the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, in consultation with the affected families. Once the scheme is developed, it will require approval from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and will then go to Cabinet. While I have seen speculation in the newspapers, as the Deputy has, I see nothing in writing and I have no information on the details of the enhanced scheme. It is being worked on by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Michael McGrath, and when it is available I am sure we will be able to share the details with people.
