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

Defective Concrete Blocks: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Derek Rafferty:

My view of the legislation is that it is on the back of the full review. However, as Mr. Wickham has said, if the amendment was significant enough then obviously the Department Minister would take it into account, at that particular point. As I say, it is a full review. The Minister is able to review the Act himself at any particular point if he feels it is necessary to do so, if there was enough evidence to justify that. The call would be made at that particular point depending on the substantive nature, or otherwise, of the amendment. Specifically, no, it would be the full review that would trigger that particular section.
