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

Mr. John Wickham:

The Minister called for an audit of quarries in Donegal and that is nearing finalisation and a report. That has required collaboration between State agencies, Donegal County Council, the National Building Control Office, as departmental lead, and the Geological Survey of Ireland. The Minister has requested a report to be prepared for Donegal and we expect to receive that in the coming weeks. Outside that scope, the market surveillance authority, as I said before, carried out upwards of 150 quarry inspections in 2021. It has a heavy focus on the extractive industry sector. How it follows up on those individual issues is a procedural matter. I am unaware of any-----
