Mr. Damien Owens:

Like I said, the engineers will certainly sign off on the work that has been remediated. Do not forget that in order to arrive at a point where that work is undertaken, a Housing Agency engineer will have had due consideration of the potential future deterioration. That is part of their remit.

I want to go back to one thing that was said earlier. Deputy McHugh referred to the GSI research. I would just caution that it is apparently just one piece of research containing many threads.

As such, we should not read too much into it at this stage in case we go in the wrong direction. We should perhaps wait until the NSAI has completed other strands of research. Hopefully, it will have the resources to do that.
