Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Defective Blocks Scheme: Discussion

Mr. Conor O'Donnell:

We discussed at the previous meeting in Leinster House the definition of what a foundation is. We said there are strip foundations and raft foundations. Strip foundations contain blocks. If someone has blocks in their house and it has a strip foundation, the blocks are bound to be the same, in other words, both will be defective.
