Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

The Senator is dealing with the definitions now. We have not laid down in legislation what we intend to do in that regard. The second registration will pick up wherever inspections have been carried out in the risk-based areas and whether the work has been carried out. One must allow a certain amount of time for people to carry out work arising from an inspection. Then one can see with the second registration whether people are declaring if certain work has been carried out to the appropriate standard. It will be evident at that stage. Equally, if people carry out work without an inspection, such information will be picked up at the second registration as well. One could choose any term but I believe five years is a reasonable term. It amounts to updating an existing register and adding additional information that may be requested in an appropriate timescale.
