Concrete Block Levy: Discussion
Mr. Tom Parlon:
I do not think so. Since 2007, we have tried to get CIRI regulated, which is the Construction Industry Register Ireland. It just passed into legislation this year. That certainly sets a standard. It means that if one wants to be involved in any element of construction, one has to be competent and compliant and one has to tick a number of boxes. We supported that all along, and it has taken many years since I came into CIF - the last 14 or 15 years - for it eventually to get into legislation. We are waiting for it to be implemented and for a CIRI registration board to be set up and so on but it is the law of the land now. We absolutely back that.
