The ETUC was mentioned earlier. I would be interested to hear about any discussions that Mr. Sheridan and Mr. McCormack have had with the ETUC about its perspective on Ireland's legislation and the rapporteur report of Mr. Dennis Radtke to the European Parliament. Mr. Duffy's paper refers to Ireland's penalties being in line with most other EU member states with the exceptions of the UK and Spain. There needs to be a complete overhaul of the penalties. Our guests might enlighten us as to what the ETUC has been saying in this space.
