Will Mr. Brown tell me, in respect of the ISDS, whether a member state can be sued on the basis of implementing an EU regulation or directive as required? What compensation, if any, is offered to a member state? Will he respond to Ms King’s comment that the ISDS is an affront to democracy because it allows investors sue governments?
Mr. Redmond and Mr. O’Mahony have highlighted many positive points. What are their concerns, if any, about the TTIP? They mentioned job creation opportunities, etc., but are there negative aspects?
Dr. Healy touched on issues regarding county councils. Will he expand on whether that is a real concern and what the solution might be?
