That is a very important point which goes to the heart of the quality of work and workmanship. The Department, Irish Water, the National Roads Authority and the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, are all engaged on this aspect. The Deputy is correct that it must be a foolproof system to ensure proper and full restoration of the roads. Senator Norris lives in a Georgian house and the footpaths on his street are very old. The restoration must be competent and be in keeping with the original. I agree with the Deputy that there must be certainty about the quality of the work. I hope to have those protocols available to show the Deputy by Report Stage.
