Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

I am aware of some of the points made by Deputy Tuffy. We need to decide which scheme will produce the best results as we try to address these difficulties. It is accepted that it is hugely important that we ensure people are aware of the risk of radon in the first instance. We should tell them not only that a radon test can be conducted relatively inexpensively, but also that advice about remediation measures is available. There is no consensus that radon remediation grant schemes have been successful in addressing the worst cases in those countries where they have been introduced. Most of the evidence suggests that the opposite has been the case.
