This is very helpful. On Ms Neary's final point, the briefing note speaks about there being no process of rectifying an oversight or error at present. The two words used are "oversight" and "error". The opening statement of the Department spoke about either "act" or "omission". I much prefer the language in the briefing note because it would mean, for example, if I was able to demonstrate a genuine oversight or an error that would be fine, as opposed to somebody wilfully and flagrantly not submitting any certification at any stage and not only on one development. I am sure Ms Neary knows Dublin City Council is involved in legal action with the same developer with regard to Larkfield House and another development off the Naas Road. Clearly there should not be a regularisation procedure where people have a track record of doing this and have shown themselves to be wilfully breaching the building control regulations and certification process. Will there be a way of capturing the differences between something that might be an error or oversight in one piece of documentation as opposed to simply not engaging with the system?
