Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Pre-Legislative Scrutiny of the Draft General Scheme of the Building Control (Construction Industry Register Ireland) Bill 2017 (Resumed)
9:00 am
Mr. Hubert Fitzpatrick:
In regard to the bonds and unfinished housing estates, it is a condition of planning that a bond must be in place to ensure satisfactory completion of developments. There are difficulties in securing bonds because in many cases insurance companies are reluctant to enter into that market because of the nature and wording of bonds.
