I thank the Minister of State for his comments and Deputy Quinlivan for his support. We are all on the same page and want to reach the same end point in terms of consumer protection. The amount of money that is spent on gift cards and vouchers is considerable. Ironically, the people who are most vulnerable to the inadequacies of the law in the unregulated sector are children, who are mainly the ones who receive gift cards and vouchers. That has been my experience.

The Minister of State referenced an Irish success story, that being, the One4all gift voucher, with which everyone in this jurisdiction is familiar. One4all is a well-regulated and well-run business.
