Mr. Ciar?n O'Connor:

On the regulatory side, there have been huge changes in recent years. The standards have gone up. The issue is making sure there is good site supervision. We are not great in Ireland. We agree on things in principle but we often fall out about the particulars and how strict we are. For instance, when I worked in Germany, if people broke one of the building regulations, they were struck off and that was the end of them, so no one messed with that situation. We have an unusual way of looking at authority at times in Ireland, with people saying that is for the other fellow to do but not for them to do. We have to grow up and behave in an adult way rather than have that methodology. We have to do things properly. That day is gone. People should not be allowed to get away with non-compliance. We are getting out of our teenage years and, it is hoped, moving into adulthood as a nation.
