Ms Orla Hegarty:

No.

Finally, to return to Deputy Ó Broin's point about this being one piece of a bigger picture, what people expect from this and what is in the Bill are perhaps two different things. There are many different expectations. I think there are people who expect this to sort out problems with non-compliance regarding tax, people who expect it to streamline the public procurement system, people who expect it to level the playing pitch for compliant contractors, and people who expect it to be a consumer body. In various aspects of the document, one can see there is not really an alignment as to what the main focus of this should be. However, if one backtracks into the policy decisions of Government over recent years, going back quite a way into Strengthening the Building Control System, Report of the Pyrite Panel, the National Competitiveness Council reports and Construction 2020, the core element of registration of builders in all these documents is about consumer protection. The policy behind much of this was about not having another Priory Hall and not having more pyrite problems, but along the way it has lost that focus.
