Pyrite home repair levy

Summary

Róisín Shortall asks when legislation establishing a levy to repair pyrite-damaged homes will be approved and published. The Taoiseach says the heads have not yet cleared Government but expects progress shortly and publication thereafter.

I want to ask the Taoiseach for clarification on promised legislation. Have the heads of the Bill to provide for a levy for the repair of homes damaged by pyrite been agreed by Cabinet and when can we expect publication?

The heads have not yet been cleared but I expect that they will shortly come before Government for clearance. The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Hogan, had been intensively involved on this and I expect results in the near future.

Would the Taoiseach expect its publication this session?

It will be published as soon as it is cleared by Government. It will then be discussed here. As Deputy Shortall will be aware, it is an issue that affects many.
