Can't read it. It's all in Irish.

Wut? I guess you mean Northern Irish (still a part of the UK unless I'm much mistaken!).

Here's the intro:

"General
This Technical Booklet has been prepared by the Department of Finance
and Personnel and provides for certain methods and standards of building
which, if followed, will satisfy the requirements of the Building Regulations
(Northern Ireland) 2000 ("the Building Regulations")."

How does yours cut n paste?

Presumably yours also shows the tables to be a verbatim lift of the mailand equiv, no?

Nope, mine reads as follows:

They come over here and they take all our land
They chop of our heads and they boil them in oil
Our children are leaving and we have no heads
We drink and we sing and we drink and we die

We have no heads, we have no heads

They come over here and they chop off our legs
They cut off our hands and put nails in our eyes
O'Grady is dead and O'Hanrahan's gone
We drink and we die and continue to drink

O'Hanrahan, no O'Hanrahan

They buried O'Neill down in Country Shillhame
The poor children crying a fe dee din de
Hin fle di din fle di din fle de din de
In hey bibble bibble hey bibble bibble hey fle bibble de

O'Hanrahan, no O'Hanrahan

We drink and we sing and we drink and we sing, hey!
We drink and we drive and we puke and we drink, hey!
We drink and we fight and we bleed and we cry, hey!
We puke and we smoke and we drink and we die

And now I'm sure somebody will remind us that the linked document is actually anything but an Irish creation, but rather the work of colonial oppressors, and that we can take our Regs and span tables, for all the good they did holding up the floor at the Brighton Grand, and shove them where the sun don't shine.

The European harmonized identikits however will be just fine, even if unrealistically low euro-interest rates led to a property collapse that made Arndale look like a little settlement.
