May I ask a question before I call Deputy Coffey? Regarding construction products in the market in general, Ms Neary does not have a crystal ball or a monopoly of wisdom on this but with regard to what happened with pyrite and issues such as that, regulations like this will put a squeeze on in terms of the standard of product that arrives in the market but in the likely event - it would have been unlikely at one stage - that there might be a repeat of that, which might not involve quarry stone or whatever, can we take comfort from this measure that those situations are less likely to happen? Is there any assurance with this measure that it might not happen in the future?
