The Pyrite Resolution Board, with the support of the Housing Agency, is responsible for the implementation o f the pyrite remediation scheme .In accordance with the provisions of the Pyrite Resolution Act 2013, the Board is independent in the performance of its functions and as Minister I have no role in the operational matters pertaining to the implementation of the schemeor to individual applications made thereunder.

My Department understands that almost 600 applications have been received to date under the scheme and that the Board aims to remediate these dwellings within a two-year period.
