It is risk-based inspection, which makes sense. In terms of the contribution from Dr. Oliver Kinnane from the school of architecture, planning and environmental policy in University College Dublin, UCD, to the Joint Committee on Environment and Climate Action this week and those findings, when one looks at what has happened in Ireland in terms of building control, building defects and the figure of possibly €5 billion to €6 billion that the State will have to pay out to remedy pyrite, mica, fire safety defects and other building defects, we do not, unfortunately, have a good track record in building works regulation and that has been hugely costly for individuals and the general public. I appreciate that the SEAI sought that input. Is it looking at further independent evaluation? In what way is it dealing with those findings?
