I would appreciate if Mr. Keegan could get back to us on that other issue. Deputy Higgins raised the issue of insulation and saving energy in households. Building regulations have been around for a while and one of the issues we heard about in this morning's submissions was that the building regulations were not enforced and that is part of the problem. This relates not just to the Priory Hall case that is making headlines but nearly everywhere. There was no real enforcement of building stamps and regulations and that has contributed to some of the problems we have today. That would have been the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland's responsibility to some degree would it not?
