What has been said to me by experts, because this is particularly relevant to Donegal, is that what is happening in Donegal is that our homeowners have been diagnosed with the wrong cancer. I am sorry to use that phrase. Because they are being diagnosed with the wrong cancer, they have the wrong prognosis and the wrong cure. Is that an acceptable statement to make? If the emerging evidence is that it is not actually mica but pyrrhotite and internal sulphate attack, is it fair to say these homes have been diagnosed with the wrong cancer?
