Okay. Are we prohibited from ending our support for or participation in that agreement and saying that we no longer want to participate in the agreement because it gives favoured trade status to a state we believe is guilty of apartheid, genocide or human rights abuses? Can Ireland simply withdraw from that agreement and, therefore, decide its own path in respect of trade?
