Would the witness accept it was not exactly confidence building to learn that the recommendations were being challenged in any way? I do not think there was a perception that there were no sprinklers. I think there was a perception that the sprinklers were inadequate. I fully appreciate that they conformed to national standards. However, the development board appeared to be attempting to fight the imposition of additional health and safety measures. Much of this came to us via the media, so this may be a good opportunity to clear that up. Clearly, recommendations were put in place and that was appealed. That was an attempt to fight additional health and safety measures and did not fill the public with confidence.
