Dr. Peter Rigney:

All the Deputy's colleagues asked questions about the unfortunate bother we have got ourselves into over 42 schools. We seem to have downplayed the role of inspection and gone down this road of light-touch regulation which served us so well in the financial sector. For that to happen, there has to be a will for the Oireachtas to say we need to look at building inspection, at what the evidence is, what went wrong and how we avoid it.
