Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Defective Concrete Blocks: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms ?ine Stapleton:

There are a few requirements under the Act. There is a requirement for a three-year review and a requirement for a review within three months of the NSAI having revised the standard. Separately, there is an annual review of the cost. We have asked the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland, SCSI, to present a report to us, which we have received and which will now go to the expert panel for a review of costs in light of cost inflation. That is ongoing.
