Chapter 13 - Pyrite Remediation Scheme. (26 Nov 2020) Verona Murphy: That was when €11 million was a serious amount of money, as was €250,000 per acre. How have we gotten to a stage where that kind of money has been invested and a site has not been developed? From what I am hearing from the witnesses, it is as if the need is not there.

Chapter 13 - Pyrite Remediation Scheme. (26 Nov 2020) Verona Murphy: I acknowledge that Mr. Doyle cannot justify it as he was not there. It is not justifiable, but surely there should be more intervention. It was the council's money then and it is now the public coffers. I appreciate Ms Ryan's point that the Department does not get involved if it is the authority's money but surely if we have ended up in a scenario where it is now coming from the public...

Chapter 13 - Pyrite Remediation Scheme. (26 Nov 2020) Verona Murphy: I have grave concerns about transparency on these issues. In Wexford, I hear the intimation from people that a bigger price was paid because of who owned a site and this, that and the other.

Chapter 13 - Pyrite Remediation Scheme. (26 Nov 2020) Verona Murphy: I want to deal with the land aggregation scheme as it relates to the accounting of site values. It would appear that the last valuation was in 2018. At that point, the sites were valued at €55 million and the local authorities had a spend of €115 million. The Comptroller and Auditor General has recommended that there would be a revaluation but there is no timeframe on that....
