On the issue of consultation and pre-legislative scrutiny of the Bill, it is positive that it has been delayed for nine months. I still strongly believe that we should push ahead with a register. This could be done in the medium term while discussions are ongoing about how to address the legislation. It is not the right time to bring it in. It needs to be parked. We discussed what was done in Scotland, where this measure was postponed for several years. It is important that we do so until we free up our hotel accommodation.

I will pose a quick query to the representatives of Fáilte Ireland.
