Ms Geraldine Larkin:

I might bring in my colleague, Ms Wylde, who is close to this. On the Deputy’s point, the work that we are doing has a number of purposes. The first is to understand what has happened and why it happened. The next is to understand the remediation that has to take place such that we can appropriately guide Engineers Ireland and householders in terms of what the science is telling us. That is based on how the remediation will last over 40, 50 or 60 years. It is very important that we have that confidence. As many speakers have said, this is a complex area and there are a lot of different factors coming into play. We need to make sure we are not guiding householders to one solution based on one piece of data. There must be a comprehensive coming together of the scientific data such that, as the Deputy said, the householders trust that what they are doing now will see them through a lifetime. I will defer to my colleague.
