Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I do not propose to accept amendment No. 4 because section 9(4) requires the pyrite resolution board to prepare a report annually not later than 30 June each year following its establishment and to submit such reports to my office. It is my intention that the annual reports will include information relating to any gifts received by the board in the context of the operation of the pyrite remediation scheme. Annual reports will be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas. Furthermore, on a quarterly basis I will inform the House as I receive reports from the pyrite resolution board.

Amendment No. 5 is required to correct a typographical error in section 12(6). The word "Authority" was included instead of "Board". The amendment is required to correct that mistake.
