I thank RGDATA for coming in. I always say if we could get RGDATA to meet senior civil servants in the next few weeks we might do more good than in anything else.

Employers' PRSI was referred to by Mr. Doyle, Mr. Gavin and Mr. Fee. Can Ms Buckley tell me how much has employers' PRSI cost its members? Has RGDATA calculated the cost? There has been an ultimate fall in employment in retail which I personally think is directly linked to the cost of PRSI. I would like to hear the figure for the overall cost to RGDATA members.

RGDATA has led the campaign against out-of-town shopping and breaches of the planning laws. Where is that fight at present? Has the argument moved on? Is it still a live argument?
