Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

Bord Gáis Éireann contractors are upgrading the network in Dublin city. Confusion has emerged about the responsibility of householders and BGE over the safety of fittings. When the work has been done and problems then emerge with the supply structure, no one is sure who is responsible. This work is not carried out by Bord Gáis Éireann staff and the Minister says the onus is on the installer where it has been correctly installed. I presume it is up to CER to determine but the upgrade has caused problems in my areas where BGE contractors do not want to take responsibility where fittings were safe before they went in but when they left the premises gas was escaping. Has the Minister covered that point?
