I do find it surprising that they would not know, given that we are dealing with postcodes and that we know where the settlements are. If the businesses or entities engaging with IBEC cannot quantify the impact in more articulate and detailed terms for our committee, I am encouraged from the point of view of supporting the Bill, which I do. There is some scaremongering and pressure being put on, but I am not seeing the detail behind it.

On the other engagement Mr. O’Brien has had, how much of the lobbying IBEC has had has been politically motivated, as opposed to economically motivated or business motivated?
