The Pyrite Resolution Board, with the support of the Housing Agency, is responsible for the implementation of the pyrite remediation scheme. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, 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 scheme. The Board may be contacted by phone at Lo call 1890 252842 or by email to .

However, it is important to note that section 14(5) of the provides that the Board, having regard to the need to secure the most beneficial, effective and efficient use of the funds available to the pyrite remediation scheme, may arrange dwellings into groups for the purpose of a programme of pyrite remediation.
