How would the witnesses feel about putting in a run-off clause - if that is even the word for it - that would give businesses time to adapt once this legislation comes into effect? I am thinking particularly on the services side. I guess the goods side could be implemented pretty quickly but on the services side there may be Irish businesses depending on Israeli occupied territory-produced software, for example, and it would take them time to change over. Would the witnesses be comfortable enough with that leeway to allow some time for that?
