Chapter 7: Housing Agency Revolving Acquisition Fund
Section 2 Report – Unauthorised Release of Funds from the Central Fund of the Exchequer

Mr. Bob Jordan:

The main learning from the scheme has been that the contractors have got very efficient at doing housing in estates and can now do the work in a short period of time. They have learned how to implement the scheme.

Maybe the bigger learning from the pyrite remediation scheme is that we are now taking on a role in the enhanced defective concrete blocks grant scheme. Some of the staff who have been involved in delivering the pyrite remediation scheme will bring and are bringing that skill set to that scheme. Obviously, if the agency has a significant role in relation to apartment defects, those skills will be brought forward. I suppose the agency has developed an expertise in this area of remediation and the resolution of defects.
