A full review of the broader operation of the Building Control (Amendment) Regulations 2014 (S.I. No. 9 of 2014) is currently being undertaken by my Department. The arrangements in respect of self-built, one-off houses form an essential element of this review. Detailed submissions were received during a comprehensive public consultation process which concluded on 15 May 2015 and are currently being reviewed. My Department will produce an early report on the matter with a view to ensuring that any measures required can be put in place as a matter of priority.
