Cuirim fáilte roimh Mr. Dalton and I thank him for his presentation.

I shall start by referring to the concern raised by IBEC and a number of multinationals. Am I correct that the regulation just deals with the larger companies or multinationals? I have read some of the minutes on CSO meetings and know a concern was expressed about the definition of an enterprise. It was commented at the meeting that the regulation would not affect the majority of businesses in Ireland and would just affect larger multinationals. Is that why IBEC and a number of multinationals are concerned? Does the regulation affect every business in the State?
