What I said, for the benefit of the House, is that "use" is a broader term than "application", which is a deliberate choice, so the answer is "Yes".

With regard to the other definitions, most of which have been lifted from international best practice, OECD definitions or definitions that are incorporated into the HEA Act, it is a bit late in the day for us to be unravelling either international best practice or the HEA Act with regard to the prescription of new definitions. That is predominantly the reason I am reluctant to start redefining terms that are already defined in Irish law.
