If the Department decided tomorrow that it would allow buildings over 30 m, I assume that would put Dublin Fire Brigade in a particular position. The fact that these buildings are being built in the UK and across Europe means the regulations are in place there. How difficult is it to mirror what they are doing? Why have we not got there yet? That is what I ask myself. It is not Dublin Fire Brigade. How come we are stuck?
