Mr. Paul Clancy:

Yes, the protocol is working for them. They say there are some issues with paperwork and additional costs, but they are working through those and they see the opportunity as a bigger opportunity for them than a hindrance. I will put it that way. It is not that they would have liked to have been in that position, but they are now and they are saying they want to make it work in its current form. That is the overwhelming message we are getting from our members across all the sectors. In fact, it would be fair to say that when I met with other membership organisations as well, and we met the Tánaiste in Belfast six or seven months ago, the overwhelming feeling from all those other membership organisations was that stability was needed and it was necessary to make it work. I believe that is the general consensus within membership organisations from a business perspective.
