That is a big issue in the Deputy's constituency. There are some very successful markets in towns like Midleton and elsewhere. I am not up to speed on where we are at but will happily revert to the Deputy on it. If the system is not functioning as it should, we will need to look into it, particularly to support local enterprise activity. Anyone who travels to the Midleton market will know about this. It is the same in my constituency, in places like Douglas, where casual traders come, presumably under licence. If there is a policy or legislative issue that needs to be addressed, I will happily examine it. It is not a matter I have been briefed on.
