I thank the officials for attending. This is obviously an important and significant proposal. Looking at the objectives of the proposed directive, they appear to be ones most Members of the Oireachtas would support. The obvious concern, however, is the total cost involved. While that is obviously a matter for another day, it is welcome that it is one that is on our radar at this early stage. It is something of which we will keep ourselves apprised as time passes.
