I can only speak about how I communicate because I must respond in a way over which I will be able to stand. There is a fundamental difference between the analogy that the Deputy drew and the relationships between sovereign states. They are governed by international law. There is also the willingness of this country to accept legitimate assurances from another country on activities we would not allow in our territory. However, if I were to very briefly participate in the use of the Deputy's analogy, if such a thing were to happen to me, of course, I would report it to An Garda Síochána. This is where I come back to the point made by Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh and others on how we rely on and respond to assurances. If anybody believes the commitments we have been given have been broken, he or she needs to supply the evidence and the matter will be taken up by the Garda.
