I respectfully suggest that as part of our overall review of this, the commission would look to get legal opinion on whether its remit extends in that area. There is a lacuna here. The practical implication is that it may put travel agents and tour operators out of business in Ireland.

Many jobs are involved in the tourism sector, so we ask the commission to examine that area. Beyond what we are going to do as a committee, there is a need for that lacuna in the law to be examined.
