Deputy Harrington asked the question that I was going to ask. I come from a background in the sparks business, as my family's business was electrical contracting. Is regulation already in place with RECI? If so, is this a further regulation on top of that? When an electrical contractor enters a home to change a switch board, will a new regulator inspect that RECI-approved electrician? If someone brings an electrician into a home to repair a fuse board or so on and there is a problem, is the onus with the sparks who went into the home or with the home owner?
