The question I asked has not been answered completely. The directive does not deal solely with labour market access and, as the Minister said, there are a number of other areas including children's rights to health and education. Some of those areas may well be covered by existing Irish legislation, but my question is whether any of the directive's requirements other than labour market access will require new legislation.
