We debated this matter in the context of the Finance Bill as recently as last night. The Deputy has acknowledged my intention to put in place legislative changes to try to make progress on this matter, which is of growing concern for many people within the industry. When the Finance Bill is being implemented across the passage of next year, I will be happy to engage with the Deputy on how the criteria are being applied. I imagine it will take a period of time for a sufficient quantity of applications to come through the system to enable us to see if the new approach is making a difference. It is realistic to hope that by the end of the first half of next year, we will have a sense of what kind of insights this process is yielding and what difference it is making to the kinds of concerns that are being articulated by many people.
