Question 171: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government when he expects the expert panel on pyrite to make its report; when he expects to make a decision on housing estates that have confirmed pyrite issues and their liability for the household charge; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have asked the Chairperson of the Panel to complete its work as quickly as possible and submit a report to me early in 2012.

As regards the household charge, I will give further consideration to the position of home owners whose homes are affected by pyrite on receipt of the report of the independent Panel. The identification of dwellings affected by pyrite is quite complex and this issue will need careful consideration following receipt of the report.
