I thank Mr. O'Connor for the useful information he provided on the land aggregation scheme. Pyrite was a major issue during the 31st Dáil and many of us were scratching our heads over how it might be resolved. It is good to see that level of progress on it for the people caught up in that unfortunate situation.

The lead speaker is Deputy McAuliffe, who will have 15 minutes, followed by Deputy Colm Burke with ten minutes and five minutes for everyone else. Due to the time restrictions, I will be keeping people to the time allowed and will allow people in for a second round if we move fairly efficiently through the meeting. To give the committee the best chance to deal with the issues in hand, I ask the witnesses to keep their answers concise because we have a two-hour limit.
