I also thank the Minister of State for his work in this area and for bringing this matter before the committee. While it is late; it is welcome to see this happening.
In practical terms, what does all of this mean? When we talk about users, for example, who, in an Irish context, are typical users and what legal obligations are being put on them? In practical terms, what does this mean and what impact will it have on users in Ireland? Also, we have done the ABS regulation, but is there more that needs or that could be done? Is that it when it comes to the ABS regulation, implementing it and the signing up to the protocol? Will it be a case of "job done" or is there more to be done?
