I commend the witnesses on the huge amount of work gone into this. It is an enormous heads of Bill. In 2019, the Irish Co-operative Organisation Society, ICOS, had an issue with lowering the number down to three. They said there was never an issue with seven. Others have said that three is fine. Can the witnesses address that? It seems that three is quite low but what is the thinking behind lowering it from seven to three?
