I am obliged to communicate that to the Minister.

One of the problems that Senator O'Donovan raised related to how, as in accountancy, three or four firms now dominate legal services. That will increase under this Bill. There is no mention in the Bill of how to deal with an oligopoly. The authors of the Bill have obviously discounted everything that the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has said about the need for a competitive sector. It will become less competitive when we implement this legislation.
