If all the apartments were built perfectly well and fine during the Celtic tiger years and there were no defect issues, you would still have maintenance fund issues regarding ongoing and regular wear and tear. You have the sinking fund issue and there is the OMC issue. There are issues there separate to the defects, we will say. What is the witnesses' view on international best practice? There are plenty of countries with apartment blocks. We are not reinventing the wheel here.
