Not all aspects of it will be public, but in general it will be public. It would be useful for the Minister to state the general principle that it will be publicly available, although parts of it will not be publicly available, and that people can register judgments. My particular concern would be non-payment of wages. To the best of my knowledge we do not have outstanding cases on this issue, but it would be horrible if Ireland became a state where people did not have to satisfy court judgments on payment of wages. These are the aspects of the convention. In addition, one should not be able to deregister without satisfying them. These are the issues I will raise with the Minister and I thank you, Chairman, for the opportunity to raise them now.
