Will the Minister give credence to Fianna Fáil's proposals in the Statute of Limitations (Amendment) (Home Remediation-Pyrite) Bill 2012, which provide for the extension of the Statute of Limitations, thereby allowing for the remediation of those dwellings which might not yet show the effects of pyrite but which no doubt have it within their foundations, as the Minister himself noted, notwithstanding the extension of the green, amber and red system mentioned within the recommendations? Is the Minister following through on the recommendations for local authorities in respect of inspection models in the future? As for the resolution board mentioned by the Minister, what is its configuration and what are its terms of reference? How are members to be sure that what may be contained within the Minister's directions will suffice to address the issue?
