But that is not the way it is written. The way it is written here is that the starting point is the worker cannot share the report with his or her trade union representative. If you want to share the report with your trade union representative, regardless of how mundane the matter is and regardless of the fact that there could be nothing sensitive at all, you have to get the authorisation of the Central Bank of Ireland. It starts from the point of not being allowed to share. Maybe in practice it will play out that way anyway but because we are dealing with individuals as opposed to firms, there is an issue around the rights of employment. While it is a regulation, the purpose of this is the suspension of the individual.
