Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Review of Part B (Fire Safety) of Building Regulations: Dublin Fire Brigade
Steven Matthews (Wicklow, Green Party) | Oireachtas source
We had architects in about two weeks ago who talked about the regulations in Germany and said we should transpose those regulations in the Irish regulations. What I gather from what Ms O'Brien has said is that it is the technical guidance we need to change. The regulations are okay because they are just there to make sure we have the safe functioning buildings, and it is the guidance on how to achieve that which we have to change. It is not necessary the regulations.
