Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Defective Concrete Blocks: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Ken Murphy:

We are taking on board the research that is coming forward as the Deputy outlined. Dr. Leemann is involved in one of those research projects. That research has been very informative. We still need to understand the long-term implications of what he has detected and put forward with respect to internal sulphate attack. That is critical to providing a comprehensive and robust standard. It will take that time.
