I thank Ms Byrne for that because what is evident is a lack of structure or forum in order to have a more transparent conversation across the sector to address the challenges that are being presented by each of the providers. I have one final question on the pay per staff. I know SIPTU has done a lot of work in this regard. How do we move more constructively towards establishing pay rates that meet or exceed the living wage? What timeline seems feasible in this regard? Is there any action planned that can be implemented to address the staff crisis as has been previously mentioned, perhaps taking inspiration from other international practices?
