People need to know the source of their human rights. The witnesses are experts in human rights but when it comes to identifying the rights they enjoy, for example, I know mine come from the Constitution, the EU Charter, the Convention on Human Rights and Irish statutory law but the rights of a person of Irish citizenship in Northern Ireland after Brexit do not emanate from Europe. They may have rights from their Irish citizenship but in practical terms that does not give them much if they are living in Northern Ireland, in terms of accessing and remedying interference in those rights.
