Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

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

Mr. Damien Owens:

Insurance has been an issue for a number of years. Indeed, we made representations in this House last year on the issue of professional indemnity insurance not just in respect of pyrite but also in fire safety. It is an ongoing issue. The situation has improved slightly in respect of fire safety insurance. We are starting to see some exclusions being built into policies in relation to pyrite. We are progressing that with the industry.
