View answerFunding may be available under the Social Housing Investment Programme to fund major refurbishment works to dwellings with serious structural defects, including problems arising from pyrite. My Department has been liaising with Dublin City Council on this issue on an ongoing basis and is currently assisting the Council with regard to social housing schemes affected by pyrite at a number of locations.
