Sorry, Deputy Doherty, I have to intervene here. Any public servant or official who is charged by the State cannot be asked whether he or she agrees with policy. One can ask whether he or she complies with the policy. Asking somebody whether they support the legislation is a political question. I understand what the Deputy is saying but I have to ask him to rephrase the question.
