It is hard to understand, given the seriousness of the issues involved, that it has not happened yet. The accountability aspect is very important.

The opening statement from Engineers Ireland is very strong on the NSAI review of IS 465. It calls on the Government to divert all necessary resources to the NSAI to ensure that the revision is completed by the end of this year. I want to ask the NSAI about its statement on this. It states that research projects relating to IS 465 are expected to be concluded by the end of this year or the first quarter of next year. This means the revision will not be completed by the end of this year. Is it a case that more resources are needed? A great deal rests on this revision. Could it be done quicker? What is the situation?
