We will not be proceeding with a levy on quarries with regard to the pyrite matter. The €10 million allocation, which the Government decided to provide following an investigation by the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Hogan, and the late Minister of State, Shane McEntee, is the commencement of a process of accepting applications to deal with pyrite. We fully understand that €10 million will not be enough, so it will have to be followed through again next year and probably the year after. It is a case of identifying houses that are really caught in this pyrite situation.
