Is the Minister of State saying that on the online form a link will be provided to the duties? I agree with Deputy Wallace that it is important. Even the issue of voluntary directors is becoming more prevalent. Particularly in an area in which both myself and Deputy Wallace would have an interest such as the League of Ireland, we are seeing a lot more companies being run by supporters who are taking over football clubs and appointing directors. It happened in my own case. It would be useful, therefore, to have that live link. There is obviously an obligation on a director to get that information and to understand his or her duties, but we should make the information as accessible as possible.
