I thank all our guests for their time this morning. Returning to Mr. Hayes for a moment, in December 2020 in a letter to the Tánaiste he said he discovered from experience there are several matters that can give rise to disputes within a European works council. He then expanded and mentioned two very specific situations where there could be a dispute. One is where there is disagreement between the parties over the interpretation of agreements governing the EWC and the other is where the EWC is governed by subsidiary requirements. Will Mr. Hayes tell the committee about these two situations and how common they are?
