Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Defective Concrete Blocks: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. John Wickham:
The Government decision in 2021 mandated the NSAI to review the associated standards. We are working closely with NSAI to identify and support it in all the gaps that are needed to help it with its programme of standards. The forum of the steering group, NSAI/TC 73, which I chair, is a vehicle to be able to listen to those technical committees and try to procure the research and support it by funding or elsewhere. As the technical committee defined unmet needs, there has not been any situation where we have not pursued it to get it delivered. There are multiple delivery mechanisms for that research, not just the GSI framework.
