Thomas Byrne (Fianna Fail)

I will not use all of my time. I am seeking clarification on the progress the Government is making on the issue of pyrite. There is no need for me to speak about the issue in detail. It is heartbreaking to visit people who are affected by this issue because their houses are falling apart. I have seen numerous examples of that in recent years. The pyrite-related damage that is being done to buildings and people's homes, as a result of bad planning and bad regulation, is unquestionably one of the most tragic hangovers of the Celtic tiger years. I am happy to give the Government a chance to deal with the issue and live up to the commitments it made. I understand that the pyrite review group, which was established by the Government, is to report imminently. I would like the Minister to give the House an update on when those who are affected by this matter will get some clarity on the Government's intentions in this regard.
