Yes. As I am conscious there are many other speakers, I wish to ask quickly about the new protected disclosures office. Will the Minister confirm how many staff will be working there, if there is an average rate of pay and what qualifications are required for appointment?
In addition, will we be incurring a fine for not meeting the transposition deadline for the whistleblowing directive and how much will it be if we are? We received a €2 million for our failure to enact the EU's fourth anti-money laundering directive. Does the Minister think it could be around that figure or could it exceed it?
