All the representatives of the NSAI here today will know that we are in a serious situation, as identified by Engineers Ireland for a second time before this committee. There is a significant dilemma. It is deeply unfair, mostly to the homeowners but also to engineers to compete with and contradict each other based on a standard that none of them have confidence in. I leave that as stated. It has to be accepted by everybody that that is a terrible state of affairs, but particularly for homeowners.

My final questions are to the Department of housing. Would the witnesses agree that ideally there would be a scheme that would prioritise the worst homes to be remediated first?
