Yes, it is a very stark picture, to say the least. I want to ask a question about people who go to different jurisdictions to get cosmetic work done. We know a lot of people go to Turkey and other countries for extensive cosmetic dentistry work. They probably pay about one quarter of what they would pay in Ireland to get similar work done. The costs involved are much lower. If people can get such treatment in Hungary or Turkey for half the price of here, they will do so. What are the witnesses' views on this? The obvious downside to people choosing this option is when things go wrong. If somebody presents themselves to a Irish dentist, having had work done abroad that has gone wrong, what are the witnesses' views on this?
