Ms Deirdre Ní Fhloinn:

I am happy to put in a submission in relation to section 35. I will make a short comment about it. As long as we have planning authorities and building control authorities operating in silos in their local councils, we will have these problems. It is ridiculous that one can apply for planning permission and the planning authority actively disregards what one has done on one's last development in terms of compliance with building regulations, as if such regulations are much less important than planning and planning regulations. I am happy to submit a note to the committee secretariat.
