I thank all the expert witnesses. Is there any way the criminalisation provisions in head 19 are a danger to a person who is trying to operate within the confines of the Bill, assuming it is enacted?

Is it possible to write a provision into the Bill to cover consent in the context of girls aged under 16? It is clearly a difficult area because part of the problem nowadays is that people mature physically before they mature in other respects. Would it be possible to come up with a wording to cover the issue?

My final question is prompted by my colleague Deputy Regina Doherty. It is directed to Mr. Brady in particular. How does the judgment of the Supreme Court differ if it is conceded as opposed to argued? Was this particular judgment unanimous and how does that position affect the judgment?
