I welcome the clarification. The Minister of State, having been present last Thursday, will note that our committee dealt with zero-hour contracts, banded-hour contracts and the if-and-when arrangements. We produced quite a body of work on these issues. I now understand responsibility has transferred to the other committee, under Deputy John Curran. We wish that committee all the best with this area. I thank the Minister of State for the considerable respect he showed to the committee last Thursday. We did a lot of work on this and made 21 recommendations. The Minister of State was open to considering them. On behalf of the committee, I thank him very much for that.
