Okay. I understand the point Mr. Hurley is making. Mr. Egan mentioned that the CLRG considered, but did not recommend, the expansion of the class of preferential payments, which is in section 2 of the Bill. One of the concerns I have seen is that this proposal would create a special class of redundant worker with legal rights that go beyond those of workers who are made redundant, in general, in the event of the employer being insolvent. Could Mr. Egan perhaps expand on that and outline problems that could arise as a result of this?
