Meath East TD Regina Doherty has today spoken with Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Phil Hogan TD regarding the decision by Homebond to withdraw all offers and further support from any homeowner covered by their company relating to pyrite claims.
Following the conversation Deputy Doherty can confirm that the Minister has agreed to set up a task force to tackle the issue of pyrite claims by homebond homeowners.
“This task force is expected to consist of members of all parties concerned with the pyrite issue. It is anticipated that the Department of the Environment will issue terms of reference to the task force as to the outcome expected and it will be up to the members of said task force to achieve this.”
“This confirmation from the Minister is finally some positive news for worried homeowners. This news will not solve problems just yet, but at least it will go some way to easing the minds of those whose houses were damaged by pyrite. The Minister has said that he will issue further details in the coming weeks.”

Deputy Doherty,
Peter Lewis here from the cross-community 'Pyrite Action' Campaign. The setting up of this task force is indeed welcome news. We would welcome your support to our campaign in driving this issue forward to seek resolution from not only HomeBond but also from all those who share a responsibility for the scourge that is pyrite. See more on our campaign at www.facebook.com/PyriteAction or email us at pyriteaction@gmail.com.
Kind Regards,
Peter
