Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht

Building Regulations: Discussion

2:50 pm

Mr. Aidan O'Connor:

If I may just deal with what we had, the opinions of compliance were arrived at through the professional bodies in their dealings with the Law Society in order to support conveyancing. It was an opinion of compliance used for conveyancing purposes. They actually do not have any part in the Act, except that they appear to be very close to what the Act referred to as statutory certificates. Unfortunately, that section, section 6, of the Act was not implemented.
