I wanted to raise this issue. There is concern that a loophole would be created in the case of very large residential properties which involve large contracts and substantial sums of money. The resolution mechanism envisaged in the legislation should prove to be efficient and cost-effective. Outside of the loophole relating to very large single residential developments there is the question as to why parties should be denied access to such an efficient, timesaving and cost-effective process. I recognise no specific amendment has been tabled. I hope, however, that the Minister of State will consider this issue again in order that some amendment could be tabled on Report Stage.
