Joe Higgins (Dublin West, Socialist Party)

Does the Taoiseach agree that it is not a private issue and that home owners are the victims of criminal negligence by State authorities and builders? The science of this has been known since the 1950s and 1960s. Standards were introduced in England and Britain in 1975. Will the Taoiseach take charge and alleviate the suffering and stress by immediately establishing a taskforce on pyrite destruction and a State-sponsored pyrite remediation scheme that will give immediate redress and remediation to the victims? The builders and insurance companies can be pursued afterwards.
