Mr Ó Broin also asked Sarah Neary, principal adviser at the Department of Housing if it would have been better that regulations covering complex buildings had been included in TGDB. He asked if she might be able to say when such technical guidance would be issued. However, “the scope of the newly published TGDB 2024 does not extend to complex buildings and therefore prima facie compliance with building regulations cannot be achieved through TGDB”, he said.
