John Halligan (Waterford, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I wish to make quite clear to Deputy Collins that the Bill will not be delayed. The Government will support the Bill and will not oppose it. As I said, there are some issues. We discussed the aspect of businesses that may have some difficulties. The One4all vouchers, for example, have a potential issue in that it is a business where a whole tranche of money is held by the company and put into a bank.

There is a legitimate argument that fees attach to that money if the vouchers are not claimed. It is a small issue.

As I have made clear, the Government does not propose to oppose this Bill, which is comprehensive and worthwhile.
