Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government (Deputy Phil Hogan)

My Department, in conjunction with the Building Regulations Advisory Body (BRAB), is commencing a review of Part B (Fire Safety) of the Building Regulations and the accompanying Technical Guidance Document B (2006). An initial public consultation process will take place to ensure all relevant matters are covered in the review and this process will commence shortly. There will be a further public consultation process at a later stage in the project when draft proposals have been developed.
