Mr. Fergal O'Brien:

Clarity on the precise measures of the Bill would definitely be helpful. There are many misperceptions. We have seen ill-informed commentary. Correcting this more would be very important. Again, I stress that if the Bill were to be extended further to include services it would cause many headaches, complexities and complications for the businesses that must administer it. They would have to notify corporate headquarters in the case of international companies, and state that Ireland has implemented this legislation and they now need to adhere to it, and ask what they need to do in their structures and systems to adhere to it. It would be difficult, costly, disruptive and damaging.
