Deputy Collins covered some of the issues I wished to raise. I have two questions for Mr. Quirke's representatives. Earlier Mr. Quirke said this Bill did not facilitate what they are proposing. Does that make his project unviable and will the investors not go ahead with the project? The second question is academic in a sense but very important. Money laundering is a major problem. His type of project could very easily facilitate money laundering. What safeguards does it have in place or what is international best practice to prevent that?
