Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Bill 2022: Discussion
Ms Caroline Timmons:
Perhaps what the Deputy is getting at is whether there is other research outside what we have already commissioned. There is fairly heavy piece of research to be done there by the NSAI already. If there are others, we would be very open to engaging with any other Department if we need to progress that. For the present, however, we have very good co-operation from the bodies we are currently engaged with and we are happy with the reviews that are moving forward. We are just trying to get them done as speedily as possible. We are happy that the engagement has occurred and as further research is required we will reach out to any academic body that might be of assistance. Obviously, that will be subject to a call in that respect.
