MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE 1

Monday, November 19, 2007

QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor K. Warren

“To ask the Manager as to why it is that a tenant (Details supplied), has heating in the downstairs part of her home but does not have heating upstairs, and given the fact that this situation exists, if he would consider immediately installing heating, and if he will make a statement on the matter?”

REPLY:

Garynisk Estate was constructed in 1993. At that time there was no requirement ( from DoE ) to instaff full central heating systems in new housing.

Therefore limited central heating was installed in the house in question.

This policy changed in 1994 and from that date all local authority dwellings were constructed with full central heating systems.

The Council's Mechanical Electrical Inspector has now carried out an inspection of the central heating in this house and recommended that it be upgraded to the current standard in line with building regulations

A contractor has been appointed and works will commence within the next two weeks.
