I thank the Minister of State. I am glad to hear the report has been published and consultation is commencing. I raised the issue of seasonal workers in particular because they are largely unrepresented by any of the trade unions or NGOs and it will be difficult to get their views because of this. Most of the sectors in which they are involved are not organised through trade unions. Is there a way these workers can be targeted to get their views on this, perhaps through an outreach meeting in an area where seasonal work is predominant or the only work available? Will the Minister of State and the Department consider this as part of the consultation process?
