I welcome the lowering of the thresholds. We all agreed that they were set too high, but why have a threshold at all, or why not set it at €5,000 or €2,000 instead of €10,000? I am taking on board Deputy Creed's comments in respect of those who were burned, those whose work was worth modest sums in the greater scheme but for whom those sums became significant when unpaid.
