I thank Ms Keane very much for the clarification. I also thank the Minister of State. I would like to see something a bit stronger in the Bill in terms of the protections for workers because I sometimes think the focus can go off the people who will be impacted. It is not just the people who own and run the business. We will have an opportunity to discuss that further.

Will there be a register of process advisers so that people can find them quickly? There is a concern that vital time could be lost while one is looking for those supports. A centralised register guarantees minimum qualification and while the qualifications are essential, more importantly, that people looking to access the service would have a one-stop shop where they would be able to access a register and easily find a person to help them through the process. Has the Minister of State given consideration to compiling a register like that?
