Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

We are now well into October and it is not too long until the end of the year. No one is kicking any can down the road. This is a very significant issue. We have already allocated up to €2.8 billion for the mica scheme and a further €1 billion for pyrite. These issues have to be taken seriously. They involve a great deal of expenditure on behalf of the taxpayer. We take our responsibilities seriously and go through it in a proper and serious-minded way.
