Labour Party TD for Dublin North Brendan Ryan has praised the submission by the Pyrite Action Group to the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Transport, Culture and Gaeltacht on 11 October 2011.
Ryan "I have sat on many Committees in my time as Senator and now TD but seldom have I witnessed a more engaging and well-presented submission such as that which came from the Pyrite Action Group on Tuesday. Whilst the Government has announced the setting up of a Working Group to tackle the Pyrite crisis in recent weeks, it was timely that the Pyrite Action Group presented the human cost of the Pyrite issue to members of both the Dáil and Seanad."

Ryan continued "The group also set out its goals and expectations primary amongst them the desire to have their pyrite-affected homes to be fully repaired and certified 'pyrite-free'. This is the goal which needs to be achieved and it must be the goal of the Government's working group too. I welcomed the opportunity to meet and speak with the Pyrite Action Group in Leinster House and I will continue to work with them in the weeks and months ahead on this most serious of issues."
