Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

As Deputy Daly should acknowledge, I have done everything possible to engage with Oireachtas Members and people through this pyrite panel to ensure solutions are on offer, not a blame game. If the Deputy wants to go down the road of a blame game, she will not find solutions for ordinary people. In recent litigation that led me to establish this pyrite panel, it was clearly stated the Department was not in any way culpable in these matters. People will have differences of opinion in all walks of life; I am interested in getting solutions.
