I will reiterate what I stated on Committee Stage. I hope the code of practice will generate the result which is presumably intended by way of this amendment. The Minister, Deputy Dermot Ahern, has indicated his flexibility and pragmatism, as always. My experience of working with the Minister for the best part of four years is that he is flexible and pragmatic with regard to not commencing this section of the Bill in preference to having a code of practice that will act as the guideline for small individual retailers. It is hoped it will, in effect, bring about the position where there is separation without it involving structural building work, etc.
