I disagree. I apologise to Ms. Stack for interrupting her. There is a separation between the judicial and the legislative, and this is the legislative moving into the judicial area. That is the key. Deputy O'Dea would probably have an opinion on that, but we are overstepping the mark by even putting a document such as this out. It is really worrying. Forgive me for saying this, but I believe that this is a political move rather than something which actually comes from the Department. I am worried where we are going with this.
