Ms Sarah Neary:

The system has almost replicated the requirements for the administrative processes, notices, applications and certificates at the end. People must follow this process in order to avail of the regularisation system. There would also be the additional fees. These are the deterrents.

The administrative processes will still need to be followed in order to avail of this. The principle here is that the building is compliant. Separately from the paperwork the building must be demonstrated as complying. The builder, owner or developer needs to engage fully in order to demonstrate this to the satisfaction of the building control authority. If all of this does not happen no regularisation system will be available.
