I thank Mr. Smyth. I think it is something we need to explore if at all possible. I note the Tánaiste has said he would be open to services being included, obviously pending the advice from the Attorney General. The timeline in this regard is very important. I note that Mr. Smyth said an analysis is ongoing now of the impact on the Irish economy should this Bill go through. Would that analysis take into account the possibility of services being included as well? I refer to there being two different types of analysis going on.
