These amendments are a response to amendments tabled when the Bill was going through the Dáil. Section 26 requires an applicant to confirm any convictions for certain relevant offences or orders under the Building Control Act within the previous ten years or since the establishment of the register, whichever is the shorter period. This has now been changed to require confirmation of offences within the previous ten years.
