Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2025-12-10
============================================================

Charles Ward (RDR), Donegal

I move amendment No. 15:
In page 6, between lines 5 and 6, to insert the following:
“Amendment of section 3 of Principal Act
4. Section 3 of the Principal Act is amended by the insertion of the following subsections after subsection (3):
“(4) The Minister shall maintain a single publicly accessible online repository containing:
(a) all regulations made under this Act;
(b) all ministerial orders made under this Act;
(c) all circulars, letters, and guidance issued to designated local authorities or the Housing Agency for the purposes of this Act.
(5) Where any such regulatory or administrative document is amended or replaced, the Minister shall update the repository within 7 days.”.”.
The amendment requires the Minister to keep all regulations, orders, circulars and guidance under the Act publicly accessible online. Right now these documents are scattered all over the place. It is hard for homeowners, engineers and councils to track all these documents. We need a single updated source that would prevent confusion and mistakes in the scheme. The scheme is already too complex and this would simplify it.
