Does that not feed into the point about taking action? It actually makes very good sense that there would be follow-on action. In many instances, the action may be outside the hands of the employer. All these reports are coming and there is evidence that we have a significant problem with childcare in this society. There is nothing to fear here. As I say, I was glad to hear the co-operation but we need to move more.

I refer to the points made by IBEC about a sort of misunderstanding, of this being rights-based and about access and the WRC. What do other of the witnesses think about that point?
