Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2022-07-06
============================================================

Thomas Pringle (IND), Donegal

This points to the problem with the Bill and flags up the issue that it must be all-inclusive and cover all of the requirements. There is no doubt that if the materials used in making the blocks are the same materials that were used in making the foundations, then that is reality of the situation. If the blocks are dodgy then the foundations could be dodgy as well, and that needs to be looked at also. The time to look at it is when the building is being assessed in the first place. For this reason, I am fully supportive of this amendment.
