My Department is committed to working closely with local authorities in addressing issues around pyrite-related structural defects in social housing units. Where necessary, my Department has provided, and will continue to provide, financial assistance to local authorities in cases where pyrite remediation proposals are included in the work programmes put forward by local authorities for funding under the Social Housing Investment Programme. Arrangements for the pyrite remediation works, including engagement with the residents concerned, are matters for the relevant local authority.
