Frank Fahey (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

Designated works form a particular subset of specified works which, following the necessary grandfathering period for the establishment of the designated bodies, warrant special consideration. Therefore, they will be subject to completion certificates when necessary. Designated works will, by their nature, be the electrical works to which the most stringent safety implications are attached. They can only be carried out by a registered electrical contractor and the proposed section 9E of the 1999 Act contains strict penalty provision to underpin this even further. As a result, this amendment is not accepted.
