Legislative Programme
Dail Éireann — 2026-10-01
============================================================

James Browne (FF), Wexford

It is very much my intention to have this legislation published within the next ten weeks and to move on and get it passed as quickly as possible. As the Deputy will know, we have a number of pathfinder projects that are redressing 600 residential units with the interim remediation scheme.
While I want this done as quickly as possible, what is also critical for me is that it is simple and straightforward for residents to be able to use this scheme and that we do not have an overly complex scheme. That is what I have been driving within the Department in drafting this legislation to ensure that it is not something that theoretically works well but is something that is manageable. As the Deputy knows and has highlighted previously, it is ordinary people who are managing these residential units who have to manage this scheme. I want to make sure that it is navigable by ordinary people who will have to deal with this legislation.
