I respectfully suggest to the Minister of State and the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment that the Bill gives them an opportunity to provide a set of regulations governing the 4 May 2004 deadline in order that there would not be open and free access into Ireland from the applicant countries but rather a transitional period from that date because we need to evaluate the effects of the numbers coming. During the Nice treaty referendum campaign some said the country would be flooded with immigrants from the 15 applicant countries while others said that was untrue and that there would be no substantial number.
