Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Bill 2022: Discussion
Mr. Paul Benson:
I think the Deputy must have misunderstood. The question I answered was not directly related to foundations. It related to a different issue. Engineers have expressed concern about signing off on remediation offers that might be recommended by somebody else. I did not talk about foundations at all. I said that the issue of foundations had been articulated well earlier and I did not think there was any value. I understand the point he is making and he is absolutely right in what he said, but I was answering a different question.
