Ms Geraldine Larkin:

I thank the Deputy very much. I will first say to him that the standard we have was based on the scientific data at that time. As I said earlier, that standard and the tests prescribed in that standard are showing through the presence of deleterious materials. I take the Deputy's point and, as I said to Deputy McHugh, we absolutely will produce interim findings as soon as they are available. In addition to the various research projects we have under way, we have sourced data related to the householders themselves, other data that are available, and broad-based data as described by my colleague from the SCSI. We are looking at as many sources as possible to advise and inform the overall piece. As soon as we have the scientific material available, we will produce that material. It is in nobody's interest, most certainly not the NSAI's, to delay in seeking to support and help homeowners. That is my absolute priority in this space.
