Totally agree that regulation and enforcement accountability are alien concepts when it comes to the irish construction industry. And self certification is a magic wand for building professionals to magic away their misdeeds for 6 years at least.

They should do. But that's a failure of regulation/inspection as opposed to planning. Very true, but its still abuse of the current system by singing off if they are aware of their improprieties. And if non compliance is prevalent on these thousands of apartments, then as such they cant possibly be...

What about the tens of thousands of apartments built all over Ireland by property developers that do not comply with current building regulations, and are sublects of redress schemes paid by the tax payers, that were signed off as compliant. Will the developer face as severe treatment, i doubt it.

Ayatollah and Trump each pose a serious threat to tens of thousands of people if things kick off, and the end result means misery for many, many people. Trump is parading as the saviour and policemen of world peace. Yet he threatens to give us less than any impact that the Ayatollah is. Not to menti...

The US are experts in worldwide assassinations going back decades, they have perfected that craft. Lets not make them out as saints, they are not. They are involved in teaching torture techniques to countries worldwide, and supported the dictators using their methods. That sounds like terrorist qual...

Its laughable to think Trump is going to save the Iranian people, along with the Venezuelan people. The only thing the US is interested in is regime change and other countries assets. And if you dont agree with him, then he is going to slap some hefty tarrifs on you. Thats real democracy in action.

The US have between 750 and 800 bases around the world, and at the moment have threatened more of their so called allies than anyone else has. Their economy is going down the pan, and at the moment they are only interested in piracy on the high seas of countries assets. They have successfully had th...

The west wants to help the Iranian people,
They want to help a regime change and get in a Shah number 2 to help them remove the peoples assets.....just like before.

And those three could realistically have been jailed. The only reason they weren't is because they were politicians. Of the quaint old Irish customs of note such as the killers of a gay man walking free from court, alcohol consumption to excess being used as an excuse to avoid jailtime and the pere...

Politicians. Put in power by the people who voted, But they have not been made accountable by the definition of the word. adjective adjective: accountable 1. required or expected to justify actions or decisions; responsible. "ministers are accountable to Parliament" I dont remember any po...

We have accountability. It's called an election. Do we really. Tell me who is accountable for , mica housing problem, proper fire safety protocols in thousands of apartments in Dublin not installed. Childrens hospital overun. Elections means same crooks get re elected because they were'nt accountab...

I dont have any issue with any decision taken by Guburner at all on his modding. Like I said earlier i wasn't too sure whether any Israel posts was a touchy subject. I see for some that it is. I personally dont see the need to explain every decision on modding taken by Guburner. Its totally unnecess...

Michael D has some strong views on Israel , and this clip strangely enough i have not seen. What with some recent posts on threads relating to what i can or cannot say on Israel, I am not to sure whether this post is allowable to be fair. So please remove if I have crossed the line on it, its not in...

Multi millionaire, probably billionaire.

You will just have to wait until they want to take your eyes away from something more damaging, then they will offer you Diddys freak offs on live stream to entertain you til the new fiasco's interest wears odd.

Epstein file release might just be to take your eye off P.Diddy's freak off parties, which has gone off the boil news wise now.
Another scumbag with a total disregard for men and woman. I wonder will they release those videos.

They just voted 427:1 to release them :? I never said they were not re leasing them. I said no one will be prosecuted for their involvement. Money sort of insulates people from getting their just deserts in cases like this. Its different if the ordinary plebs dont pay their license fee, then its pr...

Ms Maxwell will get pardoned, and anyone who was ever on the Island abusing underage girls, will carry on as usual. Epstein files about old men abusing children = nothing happens. P Diddy videos showing old men abusing children = nothing happens. In short rich individuals that commit heinous acts, c...

Sorry to hear that. My own experience is that I've only ever been backed by my superiors in situations like that. And I've advised junior engineers the same way - not to put their name to anything with which they are uncomfortable. You were very lucky to have the support of your superiors, it makes...

Not to mention. I highlited the issues of missing steelwork, failed concrete tests ect to my lead engineer and manager. I also wrote a 4 page letter highlighting all the defects to the company owner , and parent company. All met by silence and a 4 week paid notice and P45 Thats how companies deal wi...

. I presume you have reported to AGS? Because in any instance of criminality that's what you should do. No point they are protected by the 6 year statute of limitations on building defects. Company no longer exists which is another get out of jail option. And any evidence of construction impropriet...

The system is set up that facilitates wrongdoing. Otherwise there would be inspection and enforcement of breaches of the building regulations, and there is none. If there was, then we would not have the long list of building fuckups that require redress schemes that the taxpayer has to pay for. You ...

BCAR is very different from how things were done prior to the crash. Typically, it's about risk transfer. That said, although it's termed "self certification" it requires two signatures - that of the builder and that of the "Assigned Certified" who is typically the Architect or ...

So in summary, work pays, but doesn't pay, so we need HAP, because developers are bad, m'kay? Now you have it, yes large developers and building construction firms flout the building regulations on a daily basis, because they can and are allowed to because there is zero enforcement to adhere to the...

Because? Because the government are criminals as well as property owners. They bailed out greedy developers back in 2008, confiscated some of their property into NAMA, then they sold it at cut price to other developers. The developers they paid for their unfinished ghost estates were then given bac...
