Mick Wallace (Wexford, Independent)

One can have all the regulations one wants but there will have to be enough people to ensure the work is done correctly. Drawings can be checked before and after construction and one can sign off on work. In the case of Priory Hall, not only did the builder say the work was done correctly but so also did the architect and the engineer and Dublin City Council appeared to be satisfied with it.
