I will ask one more question of IBEC before I move to the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, ICTU, with regard to the response to the legislative changes that the congress has spoken about clearly. I note that in its submission, IBEC noted that: "While the action plan itself may result in legislative changes to our industrial relations legislation, in our view, neither the framework nor the action place in of themselves need to have their basis in legislation." Do we have a sense here that we are dancing on the head of a pin? IBEC is saying we do not need legislative change for the transposition of the directive and the framework but there may be legislative changes for something else.
