I accept all of that. However, all agreements have to have some type of dispute resolution because with the best will in the world, the good faith, and given the history of Ireland and England and the various pieces of legislation which I read, it was a constantly evolving process in relation to citizenship was it not with different pieces of legislation going back to 1922. It was wonderful on paper but it was clear there would be issues with it in practice. I do not quite understand how the UK or any country can simply ignore its obligations under an international binding agreement. That has huge implications for all international binding agreements does it not, that it can simply ignore it?
