If we want to make progress here we have to move away from the ideal position of one job always being maintained as the one job when it is not. I do think Mr. MacGabhann should look at a minimum, be it nine or ten hours. I agree with him that ideally they should get the registration in the first year, but we have to be reasonable otherwise we will achieve nothing. We come in here to debate really important matters. As was said, the Bill has not yet gone to Committee Stage. Has Mr. MacGabhann met the Minister? He is raising many issues but I have not heard that.
