Dr. Gerald Craddock:

A new standard is being developed in which we are heavily involved. However, it will be 2021 or 2022 before that is agreed. It will address not only housing but buildings in general. The National Standards Authority has a mirror committee as part of the wider consultation with key constituents in Ireland. The Irish Wheelchair Association sits on the committee which examines better, more accessible building, including housing. The European standard is some way down the road.
