It is important that we have very effective building control sections. Dublin City Council in particular has a very strong building control section, as Ms Neary knows. It would be a real shame if, by virtue of a sensible regularisation function, we undermined the ability of building control sections to take robust action against those people who are wilfully abusing the system. If there was a third development by the same developer that did not comply with the certification processes, would the building control authority be compelled to go through this regularisation process? At that point could it state this is not acceptable, being the third major breach, and rather than accepting an application for regularisation it would prefer to go directly to prosecution? Does Ms Neary understand the question I am asking?
