Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Universal Design In Building: Discussion

Mr. Brian Condon:

Yes, I would like to come in briefly to correct the record. I stated earlier that the last amendment to the Part M was in 2014. I was actually confusing that the with building control regulations, which were amended in 2014. The latest edition is the fourth edition, which was in 2010. There were other editions in the years 2000, 1997 and 1991.

I would encourage all the members of this committee to go to the Irish Wheelchair Association, IWA, website and download a version of our best practice access guidelines on designing accessible environments. There are some very good design layout drawings on houses that are wheelchair-liveable, which I think will be very informative. We here would all appreciate being part of the fifth edition of the Part M documents.
