Ms Maev Nic Lochlainn:

It has been apparent for quite some time that a change in the approach to regulating the sector is imminent. From the amendments tabled by Deputy Munster, the Private Members' Bill brought forward by Deputy Troy and from the Department's engagement with the committee, the Minister has said that he is minded to take a different approach and has published a general scheme of the Bill. There has been quite a lot of clear discussion that there is going to be a change.
