399. Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the number of new homes that have been inspected by a local authority (details supplied) in County Wicklow for structural defects and breaches of fire safety; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19985/13]
View answerThere is an inspection target of 12-15% of all buildings covered by valid commencement notices and Performance Indicators compiled and published by the Local Government Management Agency show that Wicklow County Council achieved an inspection rate of 30.69% for 2011, the latest year for which statistics are available. No further breakdown or categorisation of the inspection activity is given but I understand that further information can be provided by Wicklow County Council on request.
