Covid-19 (Local Government): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-05-27
============================================================

John Paul Phelan (FG), Carlow-Kilkenny

I am afraid the Deputy will have to wait a little longer. I am recording the questions and I will relay the ones that fall into the housing category to the Minister. Local government does not have a direct responsibility for the mica and pyrite issue. However, the Deputy is right. My wife is from north Leitrim so I know south Donegal. I have seen at first hand, as well as some of the images of, the houses that have been affected by mica, as well as the houses affected by pyrite in and around the greater Dublin area. It is very important. I was delighted a number of months ago when a scheme was finally announced. I will get the Minister, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, to refer to the 90% and also to when full implementation of the scheme will happen.
