Hogan dismisses claims pyrite bill could come to €460m
He was responding to questions from Reform Alliance Senator Fidelma Healy-Eames who said the Government’s own report into the problem showed that 10,300 houses with pyrite problems had not yet been tested. The report also says the average cost of fixing each house was €45,000 — leaving the taxpayer with a potential future cost of €460m.
She pointed out that the 10,300 houses were in the same estates as the houses with chronic problems.
