Amharc ar fhreagraMy colleague the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage is responsible for the defective concrete blocks remediation financial assistance scheme and his Department will be best place to advise on the progress of the scheme including the number of properties which have undergone full remediation.
The mortgage lending policies of retail banks is a business and commercial and operation matter for each individual lender and I am not aware of, nor have I any role in, any policy retail banks may have towards providing mortgages for properties that have undergone full remediation under the defective concrete block financial assistance scheme.
