A building standards regulator was needed 20 years ago or more and we are seeing historical cases coming through regarding mica and so on that need to be remediated from the Celtic tiger era in respect of apartment blocks, where there are significant problems in some locations. We saw in the concrete levy applied in this week's budget, that there is a price to pay for not having a regulator. It seems to be very foggy as to when that will happen and how it will be funded. I would like us to get more detail on that.
