Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will introduce a grant aid scheme to address the widespread high incidents of radon gas in homes, particularly in County Kerry where one home has been found with 26 times the acceptable level of the cancer causing radon gas, and of the 446 homes tested in the past year, one in six homes have radon levels in excess of the acceptable level; if he will take into consideration that homes are being devalued and all households are subject to the local property tax, and if he will immediately introduce a scheme to assist hard-pressed householders as the average cost of installing a system to address the problem is in the region of €850, with an annual running cost of €100; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
