Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Brian Stanley: That is okay, Mr. Doyle. I do not wish to rush you, but the problem is that a situation has arisen whereby a private management company is already in. The private management company is now dealing directly with these tenants and handing them the forms to go and claim the rent supplement. That company's officials are the people who are now setting the rent. They are now the people in...

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Brian Stanley: Okay. The allocations do not come through the local authority. They have not even come within the term of the loan. While the loan was maturing and before it was discharged, it was not the usual situation where the allocations came through the local authorities. The assessment of social housing need has to be done by the local authority. We cannot have a situation where people make it up...

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Brian Stanley: Mr. Doyle advises the Minister. He needs to advise him of this issue. In fairness to the Minister, he is dealing with a lot. I criticise him often but he has a lot on his plate. He may not be aware of the snowball effect of this. It is the case with a number of these AHBs that the loan has been or will be discharged fairly soon. We are facing a really large problem.

SI 288 of 1949 is Standard Specification (Solid Concrete Building Blocks Made with Natural Aggregate) Order. I will not read it all but the relevant part states: The sand, i.e. fine aggregate passing a 3/16 in. test sieve, shall not contain more than 10 per cent. passing No. 100 test sieve. (a) Harmful Impurities. The aggregate...

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Brian Stanley: I worked in construction where 20 lorry loads were being poured in a couple of hours. Every few hours a quality control person who was on site took a sample. That was in a different jurisdiction where the local authority and relevant government departments had to have sight of those samples. Problems start at source. The source is the concrete plant. We know what has happened. There is...

Would it not be simple for random tests to be done or for companies to supply a sample? There are not that many in a given local authority area in order to display a sample. As I said, think of whoever is here in 25 years' time. We now sit here with a bill for €2.5 billion, that is,...

What I am saying is that out on the ground where it matters, there is a concrete plant and a construction site. The concrete is made in the concrete plant and goes to the construction site. I am saying this by way of being helpful. I saw it in operation. There has to be a simple way of dealing with this. There have to be tests...
