Mr. Neil McDonnell:
No. However, were Irish businesses and SMEs obliged to adopt this and rather than putting it in terms of pounds, shillings and pence, members might think about a small business running a database that decided it was going to do this. The minimum time it will take is one or two days of someone coming in to cleanse the database. Moreover, whatever one might buy from someone on that day, it will cost more than €500 and less than €1,500 per day to work on a database in one's business. I will let members figure out what that kind of cost on business will be.
