Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

Thank you. The Minister of State said that the designated works are specified works. The difficulty is in the difference between designated and specified works. Subsection (27) states that the commission may determine what is a specified work and section 9E(1) states that the commission may designate a class of designated works. I do not agree with the Minister of State's argument that they are both the same thing. There is a difference between a specified and a designated work and it may make sense to legislate for what a registered electrical contractor must do to provide a completion certificate on completion of a designated electrical work.
