Mr. Dennis Keeley:

We are a regulator. While I can see the benefits of the reuse of those types of premises for bringing life back into cities and towns, we assess fire certificates and changes of use based on the current legislation and the current guidance and it is very difficult for us as regulators to deviate from that. I recognise the need for change and the advantages that would ensue with the adaptation of a lot of premises in our cities and towns but it is very difficult to deviate from that.
