Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 pm

Mr. Seán Armstrong:

They will fall under building regulation and, therefore, they will be subject to the building control process. For existing buildings with more than 20 parking spaces, it is an unusual regulation, which we have not introduced before, where we retrospectively go to buildings and put in a requirement if there are no works taking place. It would not fit in building regulations or under the Building Control Act and, therefore, the mechanism for introducing and enforcing it is not clear. The Commission is developing guidelines on how we should introduce the regulation, and we must develop its application a bit further.
