Given the number of supports that the Government has given and put in, surely there is another route the committee can take in respect of merchant service providers. Deputy O'Rourke made reference to a proposal. I would put an amendment to it to invite in the merchant service providers. It is important that we give support to the travel industry. It is important that we support the travel agents who have not done anything wrong. They are being asked for outrageous amounts of money. I believe there is a possibility that the merchant service providers are confusing the UK with Ireland.
