Summary
Deputy Francis Noel Duffy asks when legislation will complete the statutory scheme for apartment and duplex fire-safety remediation. The Tánaiste says he will consult the Housing Minister and come back with a date.
I welcome the Government's opening of the interim scheme for the full funding of the interim measures to provide fire safety in apartments and duplexes. This is an issue I have raised since the early days of my election to this Chamber. The remediation scheme, which includes water ingress and structural damage, will be funded under a statutory scheme that requires legislation. Can the Tánaiste give a timeline for when he expects the scheme's legislation to be completed?
