Mr. Jim Gannon:

In 2021 and 2022, Covid-19 inhibited some of the inspections that the CRU traditionally did. On top of that, there were interactions with the gas operators who identified that there may have been additional networks that were not covered by the additional inspections regime.

That led to us again determining that we would go out for a second round of inspections at the sites and that is what facilitated that. Separately, we had requested the amendments to the legislation from the Department in 2019 and work continued on that throughout that period.
