Ms Sophie Magennis:
Yes. At the moment it is clear that Ireland, the UK and Denmark would not be obliged to follow these measures. The UK and Denmark have indicated that they will not opt in and the Irish authorities have indicated they are still considering all the proposals in the round. The possibility is still there that Ireland could seek to opt into this measure and thereby bind itself.
