I thank the Minister of State for attending, for all of the work that has been done in the past few years, and especially for his role in this area. I reiterate the praise that he gave to Ms Mannion, in particular, and thank her for her constant work across many areas in the Minister of State's Department. I thank her, in particular, for her dedication to this work, as I thank the other officials who are also attending today. I am not denigrating them in any way.

I welcome this progressive legislation. The employment lawyer in me makes me look at it through that lens. To go for real cultural change, there has to be the deterrent of redress. I see what is there. In the event that the culture change is not as well exhibited as we would have the optimism to expect, what redress is built into this new situation to ensure the hammering home of that cultural change? Who would be the party that may be brought into a redress process for correction if the supports are not exhibited?
