Cuirim fáilte roimh an deis labhairt ar an ábhar uafásach tábhachtach seo. Many families in this State are locked in pyrite homes that are a living hell for them. Each day they watch their most important investment and possession, their home, disintegrate around them. In other cases, families have been forced to leave their houses because of kitchen units falling out of the walls and parts of the house falling down. In many cases, these people blame the inaction of the Government.

Up to 20,000 houses in the State could be affected. Many of them are in north Dublin but many are also in my home county, Meath, in towns such as Navan, Enfield, Dunboyne, Kentstown and Ashbourne.
