I thank the delegates for their contributions. I am particularly pleased to see the witnesses who have come from my own part of the country and who do valuable work in the Dundalk area. My colleagues, Deputy Butler and Senator Moloney, are very passionate about this issue and have done a great deal of work on it. My husband is self-employed and I absolutely appreciate the difficulties and fears facing people throughout the country.

The big worry is that if somebody gets sick that there is nothing there and one has no comeback. I agree with Deputy Butler when he said that we need support across the board for the stamp and that it should be made compulsory. The quicker it is introduced the better and the more progressive it will be.
