I have one final question. I was actually not aware that the deadline was 18 January. That is very worrying. It is really important the Irish Government makes a decision as soon as possible on this issue.

I want to speak about the Good Friday Agreement. The European Convention on Human Rights is the scaffolding of the Good Friday Agreement. How do the representatives feel the passage of the legacy Act, which is so obviously a violation of Article 2, will impact on the Good Friday Agreement? It is one of the most important agreements ever. It is important to talk about that.

Do the representatives have any views on the debate within the Tory Government? This may be something they do not really want to speak about. Have they any views about the debate within the Tory Government on leaving the jurisdiction of the ECHR in order that they can harden their immigration policy? Does that link in some way? Is there a connection? What are the representatives' thoughts on the connection around all of that?
