I thank both witnesses for coming before the committee today. To follow on from Deputy O'Callaghan's questions, how would the witnesses construct a scheme? A lot of the commission's statement and submission deals with the restrictions in terms of how the Government has set about transposing the directive and I agree with the commission's views in that regard. I ask the witnesses to set out a model of how they would like to see this implemented and to give us examples of places where it has been implemented properly and effectively. I ask them to outline how far it has gone elsewhere so that we can understand it better. I have only browsed through the statement but the thrust of it is that the Government's response is insufficient in scope and does not provide effective or meaningful access. I ask the witnesses to set out exactly how far it wants the Government to go and how it should go about it.
