Mr. Brian Honan:
Absolutely. It covers a wide-ranging sphere. Small accounting firms, businesses and shops all now rely on the Internet. If we look at how we interact with shops, it is all touch and go. We use our mobile phones to pay. Very few people carry cash. Businesses now rely on the ability to be able to process these payments online. We see more and more businesses moving to sell products online and not through traditional shops. Solicitors' firms and accountancy firms must provide security. It is a big area.
