The Pyrite Resolution Act 2013 was enacted by the previous Government. In response to parliamentary questions I tabled before Christmas, it was indicated that since 2013 fewer than 500 houses nationally have been remediated. Those that have been are mainly along the east coast and in my area of Dublin Fingal. The Taoiseach will see in The Irish Times today the testimony about the thousands of families who have been left in limbo because their houses have pyrite but are not damaged badly enough for the scheme. Will the Taoiseach commit to a full review of the pyrite remediation scheme and an overhaul of it, which I have asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government, Deputy Simon Coveney, to provide on a number of occasions? It needs the Taoiseach's direct intervention to ensure that the pyrite remediation scheme is brought up to standard so that thousands of home owners see light at the end of the tunnel and see their houses fixed and brought up to specification.

I will talk to the Minister, Deputy Coveney, about it. I know it has been a cause of great stress to those involved. I am not sure that it needs a full review but obviously people are anxious that where pyrite has been detected in their homes, they will be remediated as quickly as possible. I will advise the Deputy in that regard.
