Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 December 2013
382. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government when the pyrite resolution board will process applications for remediation and expedite the claims in view of the urgency and very serious deteriorating condition of a number of dwellings. [53685/13]
View answerThe second stage of the Pyrite Resolution Bill, which provides for the establishment of the Pyrite Resolution Board on a statutory basis and for the operation of the pyrite remediation scheme, was passed in the Seanad yesterday evening; the Committee and remaining stages of the Bill are scheduled to be taken in the Seanad later this evening with all stages of the Bill scheduled for debate in the Dáil on Thursday. I hope I will have the support of the House to ensure that the Bill passes all stages before the recess. The passage of the legislation will enable the Board to finalise the detail of its application and processing system and it hopes to be in position to commence accepting applications as early as possible in the New Year following the Bill’s enactment and commencement.
