Regulation of Providers of Building Works Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2022-03-23
============================================================

Eoin Ó Broin (SF), Dublin Mid-West

One of the great weaknesses of the earlier draft of the Bill was there was no mention of the Building Control Acts at all. It was genuinely surprising that in such important legislation, the origins of which arose from the non-existence of building control legislation in the 1970s and early 1980s and breaches of subsequent building control legislation, that there was no mention of those Acts. It is a small technical point but it is welcome that this is in the Bill. It could be materially relevant to certain categories of complaint that may be taken against certain categories of construction industry professionals at a later stage. I welcome the fact that the Government has introduced these amendments.
