Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Bill 2022: Discussion
Mr. Paul Forde:
If I may add to that, like Mr. O'Connell, my practice has overseen the remediation of more than 2,000 residential units and in no cases have we had to replace foundations. I apologise if I am repeating myself, but I fall back on the fact that the NSAI has recently been charged with carrying out investigation and testing of foundations. Moving forward, it will not be based on my gut feeling or that of Mr. O'Connell but, rather, on tested foundations.
