The scheme is not fit for purpose. We need 100% redress. Getting the work done is unaffordable for too many people. Particularly in my county of Mayo, the gap between the grant and the rebuilding costs is too big. Defective concrete blocks constitute one of the greatest scandals ever. We need a public inquiry to run in parallel with getting the homes rebuilt. People have to wait months on end just to get a result of the testing. I would say to people not to rebuild their homes without replacing the foundations.
