My next question is to IBEC. What about the points raised by Mr. Crowley regarding religious background or a person from the Traveller community? IBEC has said employers would seek out a medical practitioner with regard to medical grounds. How do the witnesses respond to the points on these two principles? Is there a more specific level of detail than in existing principles? As I have said, IBEC's argument can be thrown into every ground if it wanted to do so. How do the witnesses specifically respond to the two grounds Mr. Crowley mentioned?
