Mr. John O'Connor:

When carrying out the pyrite remediation works, if a problem is identified in an area we are working on, for example, foundations or rising walls, we fix it. We do not leave a problem behind us but the scheme is limited to the pyrite remediation works. We have no remit to remediate any other issues. Ms Neary might want to comment on broader defects issues.
