My Department is aware that incidents of pyrite heave have been reported to date in Dublin, Meath, Kildare and Offaly. As the Deputy is aware, I have set up an independent Panel to examine the problem of pyrite in private housing and I have asked the Panel to report to me early this year. When I receive the report, I will give early and careful consideration to the Panel's findings, and will make their report available as soon as possible.
