Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Vacant Housing Refurbishment Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)

1:30 pm

Mr. Joe Kennedy:

In our submission in 2015 to the Department with responsibility for the environment we strongly recommended independent inspection and raised serious concerns about self-certification and its advocacy. We were disappointed to see SI No. 365 of 2015 which removed experienced professionals from the core of building houses. We support independent inspections and have continually called for them.
