I want to ask about the other point that was made regarding the hours versus days. On paper, it makes sense but the difficulty is that if a person is in a technology workplace, it might be easier for someone to work from home or to log off for a few hours and catch up later on. If a company was employing people in a manufacturing or skills process, where they are part of a team, it is very hard to have people slipping in or out, particularly at very short notice. If a carer has not turned up, and that happens in the workplace, it would be very difficult to try to structure that in sectors. Has IBEC done anything to look at that? It is certainly not feasible or would be very difficult to achieve for some sectors.
