Written answers

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science

The Construction Safety Licensing Bill 2023 will provide for a new and comprehensive framework for the licensing of certain construction and quarrying activities in Ireland.

The Bill is progressing through the legislative process. It was initiated in the Dáil in March 2023 and has progressed through Second Stage and Committee Stage in the Dáil.

The next step will be to prepare the Bill for Report Stage and we will engage with the Office of the Attorney General with a view to finalising a date.

The Bill as amended at Committee Stage in the Dáil can be found here: data.oireachtas.ie/ie/oireachtas/bill/2023/24/eng/ver_a/b24a23d.pdf.
