I thank the officials very much for being here today. How will the legislation impact dynamic pricing, or vice versa? Will that still be allowed, possibly? Will the officials give us a definition of what they understand dynamic pricing to be? How will the legislation affect season tickets, group tickets and multiple event tickets? Deputy Bruton referred to the offshore websites. This issue has arisen in other areas also. Will enforcement be possible if it is offshore? What is happening in other European Union countries in this regard? Is similar type of legislation in force in other jurisdictions? On the multiple venue events that are owned by one owner, such as the GAA for example, will each one be designated separately? A lot of this also has to do with greenfield sites that are used for festivals and so on. Is it the owner of the site or the organiser of the event who would be the person responsible? Will event organisers be able to cancel tickets sold on secondary markets?
