Pyrite home repair levy
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?
