Those of us in the west of Ireland have endured the inequality and injustice of seeing, rightly, 100% redress for 3,000 families in Dublin and north Leinster under the pyrite scheme, but nothing like 100% redress in the west of Ireland. We will now have people on the east coast who are also victims of injustice. We will have people who are victims of injustice and who live miles apart being treated unfairly and unequally. That is utterly wrong. I appeal to the Minister to listen to us. We told him that if he had a scheme like this, builders would bog their arms in and prices would become crazy and unsustainable. What we have now is a cohort of people in their 40s and 50s who might be able to access loans and project manage the work, but most people cannot make the scheme work for them. There is no scheme for social housing or for those who are older and cannot move on. This is terribly wrong, and the Minister is now spreading the inequality and injustice to people on the east coast. It is just getting worse.
