Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 February 2012
131 Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the counties in which heave inducing pyrite has been found in housing developments, public and commercial buildings and roads; and if he is preparing an emergency plan to deal with this issue in view of the rapid deterioration of some of these properties. [5889/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department is aware that incidents of pyrite heave have been reported to date in Dublin, Meath, Kildare and Offaly. As the Deputy is aware, I have set up an independent Panel to examine the problem of pyrite in private housing and I have asked the Panel to report to me early this year. When I receive the report, I will give early and careful consideration to the Panel's findings, and will make their report available as soon as possible.
