Mr. Lorcan O'Connor:

The full implementation of the code is designed to ensure that it is undertaken in an appropriate manner. What I am hearing from the committee's earlier guests is that there appears to be instances where initial engagement leads to a discussion like, "Well, if you're not happy we will just CPO it." That is not what the code envisages. That is not what should be happening. I am certainly happy to engage with local authorities to ensure that is not the case.
