On a point I wanted to raise with the Department, Ms Neary referenced the RGII and the gas boiler installation. Quite a while back, a case was referred to in the Dáil where more than 100,000 gas boilers were found to have been installed illegally. That was in a sector which the Department has referenced as being quite regulated and where the standards have been reached. It was said the plumbing arena is not yet at that level. It was mentioned earlier that we are not quite at that high standard in regard to plumbing. If we found that in a so-called regulated area, is there the potential, as the petitioner has instanced, that we may have a problem in the plumbing area as well? Is there any way we would know?
