Mr. Patrick Davitt:

If I may add something to that, in question eight on our survey sheet in the centre of the booklet, sample response five is one of the most common answers from auctioneers. It says there is a lot of paper gathering involved in conveyancing - BER certificates, local property tax receipts and all that type of stuff. Solicitors now have to get all that documentation that the Deputy is talking about in order.

I am not stating they were not obliged to get it in order at the time. Regardless of whether they did or did not do so, some of what was required was not done. We would like to think all of the documentation required would be provided and that the regulations would be both retained and maintained. We would like to ensure this would happen.
