Dessie Ellis (Dublin North West, Sinn Fein)

Five families have been in caravans for the past two years in Avila Park in Finglas, having been moved there on health and safety grounds due to pyrite in their homes. Recently, officials from the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government met with Dublin City Council and the capital project has been cut from €1.3 million last year to €50,000, a devastating cut. Will the Taoiseach outline when the committee that is responsible for discussing the pyrite issue will report back to the Government and whether legislation will be required as a result? Also, is there any legislation planned for the sell-off of Iarnród Éireann in the future? This issue has arisen recently.
