I thank Mr. Smyth. I am not blaming him personally. In terms of his Department, it is a decision for the Minister. There is a Bill before this committee which has passed Second Stage in the Dáil. It is a matter for the Dáil in terms of this Bill. The Government could get rid of the sub-minimum wage rates tomorrow. It should do that in the budget, but we can proceed with this Bill. Will the officials outline for me, in broad brush strokes, what the economic impact assessment will look at?
