Obviously I am aware of the Minister's concerns or the clarifications he sought from the joint committee to which he now has the responses. I believe these responses deal adequately with the concerns he has raised and there comes a point in time at which one must make the decision. In the North of Ireland at present, a Bill sponsored by Maurice Morrow will be moving through the Assembly and going through the different Stages. I believe the outcome will be the introduction of Swedish model with which the Minister is very familiar. I will ask the Minister a direct question. Does he believe those who avail of the services of people who in the vast majority of cases are vulnerable, are foreign nationals and are used, should be asked to take the penalty, rather than those who find themselves in that situation?
