My next question relates to head 4. Section 18 of the Offences against the State Act provides for a renewal mechanism of that legislation on an annual basis. In the context of head 4 and the considerable concern about whether what is provided therein will open the flood gates, do the witnesses believe the Oireachtas should, following a defined period following enactment of this legislation, review it by way of a provision similar to that provided for in the Offences against the State Act to see if a consequence of its enactment has been an opening up of the flood gates, as some have argued will be the case?
