Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery
The Role of Engineering in Delivering High-Quality Infrastructure: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Shane Dempsey:
I would recommend to maybe invite representatives from the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland in and talk to them. The society has done a huge amount of work on the gold-plated nature of housing delivery in Ireland generally. It has identified measures in the last year and, in fairness, some of those measures have been adopted. The society has recommended so much that can be stripped out of standard design for social housing and housing generally. In fairness, there have been moves by the Government to adopt some of these measures, but the society would be a useful group to talk to.
