Pyrite and Priory Hall housing cases

Summary

Thomas P. Broughan raises pyrite, Priory Hall and related housing concerns; the Taoiseach says progress is being made but offers no further details.

In respect of housing, the Taoiseach mentioned a couple of weeks ago that the relevant Bill would be forthcoming. Can the Taoiseach confirm there will be a public housing investment programme in budget 2013? On the last occasion he appeared to suggest there would be such a programme. On housing, however, I particularly wish to ask the Taoiseach a question on the pyrite issue. The Minister of State sitting beside him, Deputy McEntee, is also very interested in this subject. The second deadline set in respect of pyrite by the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Hogan, seems to have passed by. Moreover, I understand that Mr. Justice Finnegan's report on Priory Hall is imminent. When will the House receive that report?

I do not think any of those questions were in order.

To what did the third question refer?

Comment on this

To Priory Hall. My questions pertained to Priory Hall, pyrite and housing investment.

These are matters of great importance to the people concerned. I can confirm to the Deputy that progress is being made in both cases, both in respect of pyrite and with regard to Priory Hall. I do not wish to say any more than that just now but I will keep the House informed.
