Pretty much all of them in the sense of the concerns.

But I think Orla is very clear and I would be very clear.

Get professional advice.

Get independent professional advice.

So the idea of a one-stop shop that will do everything for you, that's fine.

But I think consumers...

Absolutely.

If you're building an extension on your house, you'd get an architect or an engineer or both to help you and assist you.

You wouldn't presume that the builder knew everything that he was doing and would do everything right, you know, because they may make their best endeavours too, but everybody makes mistakes.

in the same way as you want to make sure that the new extension properly integrates with your house and doesn't cause structural damage in terms of how you build it on.

So the same is true of these properties, these prefabricated properties.

And they can be prefabricated, but they also can be constructed on site from scratch as well.

That's also open in the exemption.

So people shouldn't presume that just because they're available in a catalogue that you can go and pick the A out of the catalogue and that it will happily fit in their back garden, comply with all the planning regulations and all the building regulations.

Get proper advice.

You're spending a lot of money on these structures.

They're not cheap if you're buying them off the package, as a package.

How much?

You'll spend a minimum of €28,000 up to €120,000 I've seen them advertised for.

So it's quite a substantial amount of money.
