Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Defective Block Scheme Regulations and Review of IS 465: Discussion
Mr. Feargal ? Coigligh:
I am saying that my understanding is that the Housing Agency did some surveying last year with regard to engineers who would be willing to take part in the scheme and did not identify this issue. I understand, where we were talking in the foyer, that this seems to be recent correspondence which the Department has not seen to date. We have ongoing discussions with the insurance industry and I have not seen that text before, so we will certainly bring it up with the insurance industry and will talk to Engineers Ireland. That is new evidence to us as well.
