The first question is for Mr. Hegarty and concerns workers' rights for people who are not in Ireland. The EU Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights, Nicolas Schmit, was before the committee a couple of months ago. I asked him about people who want to remote work, for example, somebody in the Algarve in Portugal working for a company in Ireland. Is there a challenge going forward in respect of their employment rights being in a different jurisdiction? Has Mr. Hegarty come across any challenges in that area? He said approximately 50% of his staff were outside Ireland. The Commissioner said in his contribution that the EU did not want to change employment rights in each country, which means they will be all different. Is that a challenge for his company?
