I propose to take Questions Nos. 207 and 222 together.

The reply to Questions Nos. 62, 63 and 64 of 24 March last dealt comprehensively with the matters raised therein. I will be happy to respond to any additional concerns which Deputies may have in relation to those aspects of the pyrite problem for which my Department has responsibility. As I indicated in the reply to Question No. 133 of 25 May last, I am available to meet a representative group to discuss what can be done to help home owners deal with outstanding issues, particularly in the context of the High Court judgment that was delivered on 25 May and the relevant departmental responsibilities.
