Dr. Coates would say that and I get that point. This is a sector I have worked with extensively. The way the employers get around that is to focus almost exclusively on vulnerable migrant workers who have come to the country and do not speak our language. They have expertise in that particular sector but they are incredibly vulnerable. Those are the workers I had to deal with when they lost their jobs simply because they said to one of their colleagues, "Let's join SIPTU or let's join a trade union." That is the reality and Dr. Coates would probably readily acknowledge that. We depend tremendously on these fantastic migrant workers who come in. They work incredibly hard and are incredibly vulnerable and the Unfair Dismissals Act does not do them the service they deserve at this point in time. I ask Dr. Coates to take that on board.

As I am down to my last minute, I will ask one final question, if I may. Dr. Coates mentioned in his opening statement the high-level review group on collective bargaining established under the auspices of the Government's Labour Employer Economic Forum. It is more than a year since the report was published. What is the status of the work to incorporate into legislation the recommendations made by the high-level group on collective bargaining and industrial relations?
