A significant number of qualified solicitors and barristers do not work as solicitors or barristers but work for the firms to which Senator Ó Clochartaigh has referred. They work for accountancy firms, multinational companies, financial services organisations and so forth. If this provision makes any difference it all, it will allow them to compete with such firms on a more level playing field. As a qualified solicitor with some experience of this area, I welcome this provision.
