Mr. Fergal O'Brien:

Our view is expressed as clearly as I could express it in our statement today. We recognise the cross-party support for the Bill as is and our members will comply with any legislative change that is going to be implemented but we think it would be better if it was done at an EU level. We think the costs to the State and to Irish business would be reduced if this was done at an EU level. Our preference would be for it to be done through EU co-operation.
