PQ 411
411. Deputy Charles Ward asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will introduce a compassionate hardship clause or legislative amendment to the enhanced defective concrete blocks grant scheme to accommodate families who have inherited a defective property from a relative who was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and subsequently passed away before they were medically or physically able to apply for the scheme; if he acknowledges that the strict "principal private residence" criteria currently forces grieving families to watch their deceased relatives' homes fall to rubble without any access to redress; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
