Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Defective Concrete Blocks: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. John Wickham:

No, this is an evidence-based approach to learn from what has emerged over recent months and years, looking back at the experience of international experts, particularly with respect to pyrrhotite oxidation. It is a matter of appreciating the application of the current edition of IS 465, how it has been applied in practice and making modifications to the sampling and testing protocol. Once the various independent reports are peer-reviewed and published, the technical committee will be enabled to review them to achieve a consensus to advance IS 465, which is fundamental to the scheme and homeowners.
