I take it as read that the vast majority of people in dental practice would welcome some more verifiable means of regulation. I see all the witnesses nodding their heads. We do not have a register of dental practices. I will use the two minutes remaining to me to talk about that. Reference was made to a practice somewhere in Drumcondra, which is in the constituency I represent. That is particularly concerning. We might call such places rogue practices. There is a growing interest in veneer technicians. What is the witnesses' understanding of the prevalence of that type of rogue practice? I direct that question to both sets of witnesses. How can people be confident that they are not entering into that type of situation? A website might look very professional and all the rest but people need to know the dangers and what the prevalence of such dangers is at this time.
