My Department is currently supporting pyrite remediation works at a number of locations in the Dublin City and Fingal areas. Local authorities are responsible for addressing pyrite issues relating to their properties and submit proposals to my Department where remediation works are required, including works relating to pyrite heave.

I understand that properties owned by Dublin City Council at Griffith Heights are not affected by pyrite heave and there are no proposals with my Department in this regard.
