Mr. Graham Doyle:

I apologise. My understanding is that the comments made by the head of the shared office about resourcing was a reference to the office itself. There are approximately 100 staff engaged in building control across the local government system. If staffing in the shared office is an issue, we will work with Dublin City Council to address it.

The next step in all this is the establishment of the building controls regulator, which has already been agreed on in principle at Government level. We are now trying to put that in place.
