Mr. Les Allamby:

I will make one quick point and then I will ask my colleague, Mr. Caughey, to pick up on the bill of rights question.

One of the difficulties with settled status, for example, is that even if the response to CAJ is that one can apply, it carries with it implications that if one leaves the UK beyond a period of time, one cannot automatically return. There is not a one bound free solution by asserting one's settled status. There are some ramifications for doing that. I do not see that as the answer to Senator Ó Donnghaile's concerns on the issues raised by CAJ. One would have to find some other solution. Settled status, given what it means for those elsewhere in the EU who apply for it, has some ramifications if one leaves the UK beyond a period of time. It does not seem very attractive to me to say to people who are Irish that settled status does not carry some risks.
