Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 November 2022
186. Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage when he will publish the outcome of the audit on quarries that he ordered arising from the defective blocks scandal. [57105/22]
View answerIn October of last year I requested National Building Control and Market Surveillance Office, in partnership with Donegal County Council and Geological Survey Ireland, to carry out an audit of all quarries in Donegal to evaluate relevant economic operators’ compliance with the Construction Products Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 when placing relevant construction products (aggregate concrete blocks and/or aggregates for use in concrete products) on the market.
I received a draft report of this audit in June and, on examination, some queries arose and additional information was sought from the authors of the report. I expect to receive the final report shortly and would propose to publish it once I have considered it.
