In regard to HomeBond, the overall cost is estimated at €210 million for the pyrite remediation scheme.
HomeBond will finish up paying only a small percentage of that. The only amount received to date is €52,000. The overall cost or hit to the State is €210 million - that was the insurance cost. A "yes" or "no" answer will do to this. My recollection is that the type of insurance offered through the HomeBond scheme relating to pyrite was absolutely useless. It was of no benefit.
