IRISH AND CANADIAN EXPERTS COMPARE EXPERIENCES OF DEFECTIVE CONCRETE CRISES

Description

The delays and barriers in Ireland’s defective concrete block scheme were brought to the fore during a workshop last week comparing the Irish and Canadian experiences of remediation.

Inishowen-based academics, Dr Eileen Doherty and Professor Paul Dunlop, both from Ulster University, recently welcomed Michel Pigeon from Quebec in Canada, a former chancellor of Laval University and former elected member of the Canadian parliament. They were also joined by key stakeholders from Le Trois Rivieres region of Quebec as well as key stakeholders from the defective concrete crisis from Donegal and Derry.
