Building regulations package
Deputies press for the Government’s package addressing building regulations and related charges before the recess or election; the Taoiseach expects it shortly but gives no firm date.
The Minister of State with responsibility for housing and the Minister with responsibility for the environment have already indicated the work they have done in respect of a package of measures to deal with the building sector. I expect it should be finalised very shortly. They have made comments directly in respect of the increased charges because of the detail of building regulations that apply, particularly in provincial areas because of the individual houses involved. I expect the Minister and Minister of State will come forward with it very soon.
Comment on this
Will it be before the summer recess?
