This  news comes three and a half years after commencing the Scheme, according to Housing Minister Damien English.
“To reach 1000 properties is a significant milestone for us. We understand that there’s still plenty of work to do but this shows we are delivering for the participants in the scheme. The budgetary provision for 2018 is €30 million to fund the operation of the pyrite remediation scheme in 2018. This allocation will facilitate the remediation of some 430 additional dwellings in 2018 and is a clear signal of the continuing importance attached by Government to addressing the issue of significant pyritic damage in private dwellings.

"Ultimately, the Pyrite Resolution Board, together with the Housing Agency, will arrange for all eligible dwellings to be remediated to a high standard and at no additional cost to the affected homeowners.
"Remediation works will continue to be carried out at the earliestpossible opportunity having regard to the existing demands of the scheme and the optimum use of available resources” said Minister English.
