Mr. Barry Donoghue:
I will start with our situation, which is governed by the Prosecution of Offences Act. Under section 6 of that Act, certain communications with the office have been designated by the Oireachtas as unlawful. I suggest, as a starting point, that this matter be considered. We have leaflets on it as well. We, of course, have no difficulty in dealing with any question of general administration but if it is a specific case, there may be problems.
