Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (Deputy Damien English)

HomeBond is a private limited company providing structural defect insurance cover for new houses, whose operations are regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.

As is the case for any private company, I have no role or function in the operations of this company, which are a matter for its management and Board of Directors.
