That might be a conversation we have at a later date. Mr. Clancy mentioned cost-benefit analyses and other analyses of Enterprise Ireland's investments. Obviously, salaries form part of that but we have a voluntary system of industrial relations. Sin scéal eile as to whether that works, but it is what it is. Mr. Clancy mentioned statutory requirements. In many instances, those are only to adhere to the minimum wage. In almost all instances, the statutory requirement is the bare minimum. It is the floor. It is what any worker in any business can expect to achieve. We can follow up on the analyses at a later date, but would Enterprise Ireland be open to including a more rigorous analysis of workers' rights in terms of more than just pay? Pay only tells us part of the story. Would Enterprise Ireland be open to including a reference to workers' rights, adherence to Labour Court recommendations, matters of industrial stability and so on in the overall analysis? Looking at pay, even if it is brilliant pay, does not provide the whole picture of how workers are faring within a specific business or industry. Where the State is spending money, we want to see workers' rights being respected, upheld, encouraged and much better than the statutory minimum that all workers can expect. Regardless of what their employers say, workers have an entitlement to the pay floor that the State has set.
