Senator Thomas Byrne welcomed the pyrite report, which was raised yesterday by Senator Darragh O'Brien. We hope that, as a result of the report, many of the people affected by this issue will be facilitated. I admit this is long overdue but hopefully, now that we have the report, we will be in a position to act upon it. The Minister is taking steps to rectify the HSE budget deficit. He outlined a number of areas in which he intends to rectify it and the management has been informed that it must come within its budget. It is unusual for the other side of the House to request to have all Stages of a Bill taken together.
