Ms Josephine Feehily:

It is a huge question that has a constitutional dimension and I have seen a lot of the legal advice. It is about mindset. Public servants are not supposed to comment on Government policy but the Government has not articulated a policy on this other than the way it has framed the Bill. Therefore, I need to be careful. There may well be, because there must be, a proper ministerial position in that chain, because there must be parliamentary accountability.
