I have no proposals to introduce legislation along the lines suggested by the Deputy. However, the building control Bill provides both for the replacement of existing building by-laws by national building regulations and for the charging of fees in relation to building control matters to be controlled by me. This legislation which lapsed with the dissolution of the last Dáil has been restored to the Dáil Order Paper at Committee Stage.
