Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Defective Concrete Blocks: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Geraldine Larkin:
The intention is that we will go to public consultation, most likely in the third quarter of the year. Depending on the number of comments and observations we get on the text, we hope to be able to close it out shortly thereafter. The one caveat I will make to this is that if at any point along the process there were to be significant changes in the research coming through to us which would cause us to pivot towards a full substantial amendment, we would consider it. We are at all times trying to ensure we balance the interest of time on the one hand against bringing about the most comprehensive as possible next edition of IS 465.
