I will speak briefly in support of the amendments. As with other Deputies, I have heard from people working in the sector who have had very poor experiences with regard to working conditions and precarity. When a sector is being supported through tax measures like these, we should ensure good working conditions for the people working in the sector. They should have good working conditions anyway, as everyone should. However, in the context of the supportive tax measures, we should look at how that conditionality around improving working conditions, which can be very poor for some in the sector, can be improved and strengthened.
