Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-07-13
============================================================

Eileen Flynn (IND), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I move amendment No. 5:
In page 6, between lines 24 and 25, to insert the following:
“ “foundations” means the lowest load-bearing part of a building, typically below ground level;”.
Since I have the opportunity, I would like to say that we should be adults in this Chamber this evening and get through this legislation respectfully for the people. This is not politics, to a certain extent; it is about the people on the ground.
Again, I believe that foundations should be included in the Bill. That is my only point.
