Mr. Paul Forde:

I could offer one comment on that. I mentioned in my opening statement that the Minister recently requested that the NSAI carry out investigations and testing of foundations in the affected areas. Once that report is completed we will be in a better position to assess whether foundations need to be addressed or not.

My second and final point on this is that, to date, I am not aware of any foundation problems associated with pyrrhotite in the country. I have not heard any evidence of such occurrences. That is not to say they may never happen but I have not heard of one instance of it across the country. Nevertheless, the NSAI has been tasked with investigating and reporting.
