I am looking at the agenda and I do not see that we are excluding particular topics for discussion. I am just asking a question. An RTE documentary about hooded men was broadcast. The European Court of Human Rights ruled on the evidence given, but some evidence was not made available to the Irish Government. The fact that the torture or interrogation techniques used were permissible is used today as justification in countries throughout the world for using what are known as, ironically enough, enhanced interrogation techniques.
