Housing Minister Paudie Coffey said that new policies were coming on stream to speed up delivery of units. They included a reduction in development levies, developer finance being made available and a vacant site tax.

More to the point, if the build has commenced and the professionals are on board, why would the certs not be produced anyway?I'm interested to see what fudges come about to remove the requirement for certification for these builds that have recently started.

mickdw wrote: » How about falsely declaring that builds never actually started thereby invalidating previously validated commencement notices then resubmitting short form after September. I did say fudge and you would need to be a dodgy bastard to attempt that one but nothing would surprise me tbh specially on builds that did not have bank involved.

Also he is p!ssing me off bigtime! I have other people e.g. the arch tech that designed my house, a guy I know who's an engineer but not a chartered one - that I would much prefer to get involved in the build instead of him"

Rolling over and doing what you're told or standing up to them? If people hadn't lobbied for fairness this change would never have come about. Now is not the time to dance for the man

Instead of doing what they should have done - loudly and publicly critising the shortfalls in the legislation as it affected house buyers - they played ball with Hogan in return for a protected status under the act. Utterly shameful.

However the RIAI has, mistakenly in my view, chosen to try to resolve matters by quiet negotiation with the DECLG. This has clearly not worked and AFAIK the RIAI will now be adopting a different and hopefully more effective approach.

The RIAI have let down all of it's membership. It thought it secured an advantage for it's Arch members ( don't know why) including at the expense of it's AT members ( know even less why )
