Yes. My concern is that this could lead to a situation where companies would be obliged to cease operations which would lead to agency workers and permanent employees going on the dole. If that proves to be the case, we will have done a bad day's work. That is the nub of the issue. Therefore, every precaution should be taken by means of provisions in the legislation to try to avoid the eventuality to which I refer. As Senator Feargal Quinn stated, amendment No. 8 would be of assistance in that regard.
