The Minister of State was not privy to the lengthy discussion on related amendments on Committee Stage. From my reading of it, there is nothing currently in the legislation that would ensure that somebody who had been found to be in breach of building regulations could for that reason be struck off the register. That is one of the fundamental weaknesses of it. In addition to the criteria outlined by the Minister of State, insisting that to be on the register somebody would have to have a track record of adhering to the requirements of building regulations, would strengthen the Bill. I appreciate the Minister is not going to accept amendment No. 10, but I will press it nonetheless.
