Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 September 2004
254 Mr. Boyle asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the role his Department plays in monitoring the quality of performance of builders and building companies in the area of house repairs and renovations. [23132/04]
View answerMy Department has no function in monitoring the performance of builders or building companies in repairing or renovating houses.
It is open to persons commissioning such works to retain a building professional, for example, architect, engineer, etc., to advise them on the appointment of a competent contractor, supervise the relevant construction works and certify satisfactory execution of works prior to payment of moneys to the relevant contractor.
