I am disappointed by the reply. It would be helpful if the Department and the pyrite board gave this information to homeowners on an ongoing basis. The feeling on the ground is that people do not know what is going on. It is helpful to know what is going on, as outlined by the Minister of State. Inevitably, there will be concern about the delay. Members of the Opposition will give whatever help we can but it is our duty to keep the pressure on to ensure this is delivered. It is almost one year since the original Government decision and we are well past the anniversary of the publication of the report. I encourage the Government to put as much information as possible on the pyrite board's website. People are reading things online every day and this is part of the modern worrying process. Is there some reassurance the Minister of State can give? It must happen quickly because pyrite damage is progressive, and these homes are getting worse. We look forward to a resolution.
