This is a start. It must have been very tough for people who have suffered because of pyrite. Today is Shane McEntee's birthday, so it is fitting that it coincides with the passing of this Bill.

In respect of examining the law to see why it is difficult to hold private entities responsible and the manner in which the law is challenged, it would be good if the process were transparent so that we could see the argument from both sides. This goes beyond pyrite and is a crucial issue for the State. It has an impact on many aspects of how the State is organised. It is important that transparency applies to how the Government challenges this and how private entities look to defend their position on it.
