Does anybody else wish to respond to those points made by Deputy Ó Snodaigh? No. I might just ask a few questions myself. One thing that intrigued me is the fact that we were discussing the development of the Irish standards but Ms Neary's presentation mentioned the fact that the British standards are the ones that are being used. Could she explain why this is the case? Why is the Department not stipulating that Irish standards be used? On page 3 of the presentation, it states that British standards have dealt with these systems for some time and the current standard is BS 8558.
