Jim O'Keeffe
Question:360 Deputy Jim O’Keeffe asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will review the operation of the regulations requiring the production of a building energy rating certificate when a building is being offered for sale or letting in view of the additional costs to a vendor or a lessor who may be forced to sell or lease and who may have no funds to cover the cost of the certificate; his views on whether, on a temporary basis, a requirement to produce a certificate with a contract and other documents should be adequate; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
