Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy has put a number of questions. I established the free phone line to help people, as I understood from everybody, including the Deputy, that there were thousands of people concerned about and affected by pyrite. However, the Deputy will be surprised how few people rang the free phone line - fewer than 40. This does not indicate that it is a serious concern for thousands of people. I know there are some hundreds affected, but there are certainly not thousands. If there were, they would be ringing in for information.
