I thank Mr. Owens. My next question is for the Housing Agency in respect of an issue raised by Engineers Ireland. Issues have arisen with regard to recommendations for mediation where the option of an engineer employed by a homeowner differs from the option determined by the Housing Agency. It suggests that given the research and the fact the review of IS 465 is not completed, the higher option of the two should be preferred to provide greater assurance to homeowners and building professionals working on remediation. Does the Housing Agency have a view on this? How is this concern being dealt with?
