My apologies, the NDFA has to satisfy itself that the works are certified and in compliance. The issue here is that it is washing its hands of that process. It is allowing Woodvale to carry out that process with an independent assessor. In Mr. Hennebry's view, how can an independent assessor certify works that the subcontractors have done? In correspondence to the committee, the NDFA said that the main contractor, which is Woodvale, will employ other subcontractors to complete the works not completed or to certify works that have already been done. In Mr. Hennebry's view, how is this legally possible under the Building Control Act?
