Unfortunately, I am aware of a number of properties where the owners found cracks and had the work done, but then had reports done which showed, unfortunately, that the problem is pyrite. I will not name the townland other than to say it is in mid-Louth. Obviously we have given this information to Louth County Council. One of the properties was previously a council house that was bought under the incremental tenant purchase scheme. I hope Louth County Council will be in contact with the Minister, and I will engage with it on that. I ask the Minister and his Department to move quickly. These people have found themselves in dreadful circumstances and fear their houses will come down around them. People have the same issues in Donegal, Sligo and other places.
