Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Brian Stanley: Can we have a progress report in the next two weeks regarding the National Building Control Office and what is being done directly by the Department? I do not want to crucify anybody here this morning. The buck stops with the Department to get on top of this situation. We cannot continue. Somebody will be sitting in this room in ten or 20 years sorting out another bunch of problems with...

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Brian Stanley: I agree with the Deputy on that. One person with whom I am acquainted who is a firefighter in a small station has told me that some crews are down to five or six members now. They are not able to recruit new members. There are posters outside the stations trying to recruit people. This individual told me that one of his children got first communion and there was a meal afterwards. The...

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Brian Stanley: I have been arguing this for nearly two years. Mr. Doyle says we are moving in that direction but surely to God we should be just doing it. I cannot tell him which architects designed the schemes. There may even be better schemes somewhere else in the country but these looked to me like very good schemes. I have been in the houses, which are A-rated. There are also apartments in some of...

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Brian Stanley: Mr. Doyle, please stop. They are being built on flat sites. Assuming that the sites can be serviced, what is the issue? There is a reason we were able to build at scale in the 1970s. I am not arguing for the same type of housing that was built then because we have moved on. Mr. Doyle and I agree on that. A-rated houses are now being built. The local authority houses that are being...

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Brian Stanley: That is fine. Modular is appropriate and some are going to be built very near my area in the very near future by ClĂșid. That is good. What I am saying is in regard to the standard of construction. I am not getting any comfort from what Mr. Doyle is saying in regard to straight builds by local authorities, which design and build and bring in contractors to do it. Why can we not use...
