The CRH share price is remarkably stable and is outperforming other share prices on the ISEQ index. Is this anything to do with the fact that we are going to pass a Bill in this House this week - it is going to be guillotined - that will transfer all the cost of all the remediation of all the dodgy dealings in quarries for decades in Ireland to the Exchequer? There will be no comeback. The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform has to balance that cost with the cost of providing badly needed funding for University Hospital Limerick, childcare, a matter raised by Deputy Gannon, and many competing needs in our State. Is he happy that the quarries that provided the dodgy materials for profit are going to get away scot-free and that the Exchequer is going to carry all of the cost one more time.? That cost will be landed on the Exchequer and off we will go on our holidays. Does the Minister think this is okay?

In the immediate sense, our priority is to get the scheme up and running, and to legislate to ensure that we can start getting homes remediated and rebuilt under what is a much improved scheme. The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, has appointed a senior counsel to examine the issues raised by the Deputy.

You need to talk about it.

There has to be accountability in respect of the root cause of this issue. The State will do whatever it takes to pursue anyone responsible for what will end up being a very large cost on the Exchequer. The State will explore every avenue to seek recompense in respect of that. In the immediate term, our priority is to get the scheme up and running and get work done on homes. We will pursue that issue to the end.

That is not what the Bill does.
