I have two questions, and I will finish at that point. Why do the witnesses not acknowledge the problem to which the facts clearly point regarding a large number of non-EEA workers? The follow-on question is that for the sake of their industry and given that they are now facing 19 claims of trafficking, some of which information has already gone to the Garda and the rest is on its way, why will they not engage with the International Transport Workers Federation, ITF, and try to address this issue before untold damage is done to their industry?
