My Department does not provide grant assistance to community or voluntary organisations for compliance with the Building Regulations. However, Section 22 of the Building Control Regulations 1997 – 2009 provides for an exemption from fees for voluntary organisations or bodies standing approved for the purposes of section 6 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1992.
