I thank Mr. O’Connor. I note that the Select Committee on Environment and Climate Action today completed its consideration of Committee Stage of the Circular Economy, Waste Management (Amendment) and Minerals Development (Amendment) Bill 2022, which feeds into much of what we are discussing. I know that Deputy Darren O’Rourke was present for that long session today. That work is ongoing in other areas also.

Finally, I call on Ms Mairéad Phelan of the National Building Control Office, to make her opening statement.
