I do not know whether the Taoiseach saw the "Prime Time" story on Thursday which was a powerful exposé of the context of apartment and duplex defects, the horrendous situation facing the victims and the responsibility for the system of self-certification introduced by Fianna Fáil. It focused, in particular, on those living in The Crescent, Park West, who are facing an incredible bill of €68,500 to fix defects that are not their fault and that they could not possibly have known about, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. Up to 100,000 people are in similar situations, but most of them do not know it yet.

Will the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage meet the residents of The Crescent, Park West, and other developments who are working together in the Not Our Fault campaign? After the way it has treated these people, why is Harcourt Developments, the developer in Park West, in receipt of massive sums of public money through, for example, the regeneration scheme of Waterford’s north quays?

If I may, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, the Deputy will know we commissioned the apartment defects report, the largest ever survey of the apartment defects issue, in which 28,000 households participated, and that is how we know that close to 100,000 homeowners are affected. I intend to bring recommendations to Cabinet in advance of Christmas. I have been engaging directly with the Apartment Owners’ Network and the Construction Defects Alliance, which form part of the working group, on a regular basis and I continue to do so. We are going to set up a mechanism in advance of Christmas to update other interested residents. I know the Deputy has mentioned this to me previously. We have had about 100 different requests from different groups right across the country that, to be fair, are engaged in the process and we will find a mechanism to be able to meet them, potentially virtually, and to do that in advance of Christmas.
