Violet-Anne Wynne (Clare, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Yesterday, a meeting involving the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage and representatives from the Mayo and Donegal MICA pyrite groups was held. It is most welcome. However, I would like to know why a representative from the Clare pyrite group was not invited and included. This is completely unacceptable, disheartening and, quite simply, not good enough. It has taken 12 years to get to this point for those affected in Mayo and Donegal. I know, as does the Tánaiste, that people in County Clare will not tolerate the continued attitude of the Government of burying its head in the sand. I ask the Tánaiste to ensure that any further discussions held on this serious matter will include a representative from the Clare pyrite group, namely, the founder and chairperson, Dr. Martina Cleary. Their voices need to be included and heard.
