Deputy Daly is right. There is broad consensus in regard to decriminalisation. I had some concerns with the decriminalisation in all circumstances because that might encompass that which is outside of the law. I know that is not the intention. If we are looking at motions 34 and 35, I think those kind of crystallise and I do not think that they contradict anything that Deputy Daly is saying. We could go for those. They are clearer. Some of it is implicit but maybe we should be clear on it.
