What were the determining factors in setting the criteria for becoming a one-stop shop operator? I am no expert in this field, but I am told that the criteria are very tight, for example, a turnover of €1 million. I accept that the Minister would not want the Chairman, Deputy O'Rourke and I setting up a company to become a one-stop shop operator, for example, but I am talking about people who have a history in doing this work, are sizable outfits regionally and could easily fit criteria, albeit not necessarily the criteria that have been set. Only a small number of companies have been approved as one-stop shops.
