As for the comments made by Deputy Lawless, the objective of the Bill is to reduce the administration and regulatory aspect and to bring in a new, graded approach rather than the current one-size-fits-all mechanism. There will be no diminution in safety protocols, and registered persons will be subject to inspection by the Environmental Protection Agency to ensure that all standards are maintained. Imposing a requirement to renew the registration periodically would impose an additional cost on both the agency and the client but would not improve either the culture of safety or standards.
