I note that the Minister of State mentioned the potential ramifications and negative feedback. As Deputy Shortall has said, this is spread over a significant period of time. It is a marginal change if one takes a multi-annual period. Has the Department received any negative feedback about current laws because in my experience as a public representative, I have received no negative feedback from businesses or enterprise, little or large, about the laws that currently stand? If there was a negative perception of the law as it stands, we would hear about it. I do not think this will have Armageddon ramifications of the type spoken about by the Minister of State. I do not think there is a need for the level of stakeholder engagement. It is spread over a long time and I do not think it will have the effect about which the Minister of State is concerned. This is probably too cautious from the Department's perspective. Has the Minister of State received negative feedback about the current law?
