Okay. That is as England is interpreting the law, totally against the Good Friday Agreement, totally out of line with the Good Friday Agreement, except that is interpreting it to suit itself, to justify that approach. The difficulty lies then with the Good Friday Agreement does it not, in the way that it was drafted? My colleague here asked a question on a dispute mechanism, and I have that highlighted here as well. Theoretically the Good Friday Agreement was excellent and revolutionary. In practice, it allowed for various interpretations without an appropriate mechanism to resolve issues that arose, is that correct?
