Malcolm Noonan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Green Party)

I see what the Deputy is saying. There have been a number of cases like this. Those cases are not uniform and every homeowner has different issues. As I said in the original response, the replication of the house is a like-for-like dwelling. However, given there are significant issues involving a young disabled child, I ask that the Deputy would bring the issues forward to the Department and we can look at what way it might be addressed. I understood from the question that the disabled adaptation already existed in the house and in such a case, replicating the house would be like-for-like, with exactly the features that were in the original house.
