I recognise those points but I still believe that there is a need for a stronger provision because, unfortunately, compliance orders are not always complied with. This is a fact, so I am concerned in that regard. I recognise and welcome the provisions relating to the High Court and, in particular, those relating to the employee being able to initiate action. These are really strong measures. I will not press my amendment because I do not believe it is worded as strongly as the amendment in Senator Warfield's name, although the latter only references the Circuit Court. I will withdraw my amendment and reserve the right to reintroduce it on Report Stage.
