That was actually the crux of my question. I know there is a difference in practice. Chiropractors are entitled to make the referrals in Newry but they may not be so entitled in Dundalk, although they may have the same qualifications and practice at the same level. Mr. Cosgrave made the point that if he went to the North he would be completely covered to practise, whereas he may not be in this State. That is what I was trying to get at. There may be no difference in the person but there is a difference in what the law will and will not allow them to do.
