Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
Proposed Repeal of UK Human Rights Act: Discussion
10:00 am
Mr. Les Allamby:
I think it would be very useful to explore the ramifications. This is probably a case in which prevention is better than the cure. When the proposals come out, one of the things that will almost certainly be done in a number of places - and it would be very useful if it were done here - is an examination of the legal ramifications of the road that is being trodden. This will be a litmus test of whether it meets all its international obligations, as it is one of the areas on which, no doubt, there will be discussion once the proposals come into effect.
