I appreciate that. Obviously, all legislation will have weaknesses that need to be examined, not least from a point of view of best practice regulation. Sometimes it is only through interaction with all the stakeholders and by putting something into operation that we can see those weaknesses. There is a definite difficulty for travel agents and they are being dealt with utterly unfairly. There is a failure, too, at State level. I accept that Ms Mannion cannot comment at length in respect of that but we as a committee need to deal with it.

I am happy enough to return to the other members whatever time remains because I know we will be under time pressure.
