Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Vacant Housing Refurbishment Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Paraig Cantwell:

The only reference we would be concerned about is the inspection regime. Where would the clerk of works come in? It would lead to more inspections on-site. We have some members who are assigned certifiers, but even outside that we feel that there are not enough inspections on sites. That is our main concern.
