I would have no problem with the suggestion involving the Joint Committee on European Affairs but I would imagine that it is just a recommendation it had. It probably has no status. We also have the problem that it is supposed to be done by the end of June. It is the start of May but we do not have long in connection with that deadline. Nobody knows whether their voice is being heard on this but we have a good guess based on previous actions to say that it will not be heard and Ireland might have a problem. In that sense, we must look at something even more dramatic - possibly writing and seeking an opinion on why there is no primary legislation. The witnesses have informed us and added to what we know but we must decide what we do about this as well because it is very worrying.
