Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Review of Part B (Fire Safety) of Building Regulations: Dublin Fire Brigade

When examining modern methods of construction and so forth, a couple of groups appeared before us. I found the question of who it was up to to decide changes in regulations confusing. If the Minister were to say that he wanted to permit medium-or-high-rise buildings in cross-laminated timber, CLT, the National Building Control and Market Surveillance Office, NBCMSO, would have to formulate building regulations and the technical guidance documents would have to show how to achieve those. Are these the steps that would need to be followed?
