I thank Dr. McMahon for that clarification. I wish to ask a question I intended to ask earlier relating to radon levels in the ground. I come from a constituency in Waterford where there is traditionally quite a high radon gas level. I acknowledge the work the RPII has put into raising awareness among the public. It held roadshows a few years ago which were very successful. It constantly encourages testing of people's homes and workplaces. Do the representatives consider it a good idea if testing were made obligatory, similar to the building energy rating, BER, certificate which is obligatory when a person wants to sell or lease a house? The incidence of radon gas levels is a more serious issue. I would like to get their views on whether they consider it would be a good idea for testing to be obligatory.
