Mr. Frank Nolan:

On regulation, I hope before my term is completed in four years that we have a dental Act. It has been promised and I hope it is implemented within the four years. It would bring the regulation part and clean matters up. On clinical dental technicians, I note that the Dublin Dental University Hospital has a programme of training in place already for that. The policing of unauthorised in-the-garage dentists is really a matter for An Garda Síochána, which needs to pick it up. As a very small organisation, we will not be able to find out in every garage in every town who is practising but not registered. If we hear of it, we will do what is required at that stage. However, the dental Act needs to be in place.
