I formally propose that we write to both the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation informing them that the joint committee recommends the implementation of sections 9.5.2., 9.5.3 and 9.6.4 of the draft code of practice as produced by the National Standards Authority of Ireland, NSAI), and ask has the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government any plans to introduce regulations or legislation to address properties which are possibly already affected by the issue as raised by the petitioner.

If possible, I would like the petitioner to come before the committee to give a short demonstration of what is happening. He need not bring the tank out of the attic to explain. If there is a health risk identified here, the petitioner seems to have been passed from Billy to Jack by the different Departments. I think there is a health risk. The man is a professional and he knows what he is talking about.
