Does that concern Mr. Wickham?

If we follow the logic of the existing scheme and if we look at the Q and A on the Department website, it assures people that the foundations are fine and that you can rebuild your new home on the existing foundations. This is despite international evidence that the existence of pyrrhotite in foundations means those foundations have to come out. I am thinking in particular of North America. That is number one. There is an assurance they will be fine. Does Mr. Wickham not think it is utterly reckless to not even test those foundations to verify? He will know that I am referring to various parts of North America where there have been schemes to remove and replace the foundations where pyrrhotite existed. Does he not think it is reckless to persist in insisting they do not test the foundations when there is that experience in North America? There is also internationally peer-reviewed evidence that pyrrhotite is now the dominant issue, in particular in my home county of Donegal. Is it not reckless to continue insisting on that?
