Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 February 2018
212. Deputy Thomas Byrne asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to outstanding works yet to be completed at a school (details supplied); and the position with regard to these outstanding building defects. [7160/18]
View answerThe project at the school referred to by the Deputy reached substantial completion in November 2017. Under the terms of the contract the Contractor has a period of 12 months after the date of substantial completion to rectify any snags or defects that are identified, i.e. defects liability period. If at the end of the 12 month period all snags or defects have not been rectified then the contract offers other remedies to have matters resolved.
My Department has requested the employers representative to engage with the main contractor to ensure that any snags or defects are remedied before the end of the defects liability period.
