On the matter of debt, I cannot give the Deputy the kind of detail she is looking for because the legislation is being drafted as we speak. The Government made a principled decision yesterday evening to adopt broadly the reforms advocated by the Law Reform Commission in 2010 in respect of civil debt, particularly to distinguish between those who will not pay despite being on comfortable salaries but want everybody else to pay, and those who have difficulties with paying. There will be a very clear support system set out in respect of people who have those kinds of difficulty.
