Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 February 2013
149. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government his response to questions regarding the proposed role for HomeBond on the Pyrite Resolution Board; and if he will detail HomeBond's experience, if any, in remediating houses with structural damage caused by heave-inducing pyrite and in the insurance loss adjusting. [5565/13]
View answerThere are no proposals to include a representative from HomeBond on the Pyrite Resolution Board. HomeBond is a private company and its operation is a matter for its management and Board of Directors. My Department does not have any specific details in relation to its activities or its insurance loss adjusting experience. However, my Department is aware that up until August , 2011 HomeBond was involved in pyrite remediation work and over the years since its inception it has built up significant experience dealing with claims for structural damage under the terms of its warranty scheme.
