Clare Daly

Ceist:

89. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform further to Parliamentary Question No. 94 of 24 April 2018, if his attention has been drawn to issues raised (details supplied) on the windows; if his attention has been further drawn to the fact that this layer is not the size that the supplier alleges is being used; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19272/18]

The cell windows used by the Office of Public Works are a composite construction made up of three components, namely concrete, glass block and a protective covering layer. The performance of the cell windows depends on all three components working together and not just one single component of its make-up. The composite construction of the cell windows mentioned in the deputy’s PQ does not breach Safety & Health Regulations.

There are two suppliers of cell windows used by the OPW, both of whom meet the specifications. And both have been used in different locations.
