Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Bill 2022: Discussion

Mr. Miche?l Mahon:

The terms of reference were pretty clear. We have stressed our independence in our report and we have stated clearly that we should look at the cost of bringing buildings up to current regulations. We reviewed these remediation options but we did not pursue them because we did not feel it was possible that the costs that were expressed were costs per square foot. What we have done is we have provided a useful baseline which informs the debate. That is the reason we took it on and agreed to those terms of reference.
