Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs

Engagement on the Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement: Mr. David O'Sullivan

Mr. David O'Sullivan:

Not at all. I do not see how the conclusion would be drawn by any investors that because Ireland would ratify CETA somehow we had less confidence in our domestic legal order and our judicial system. I do not believe people would see it that way at all. As I say, the current system of bilateral ISDS co-exists with the judicial systems of many countries whose judicial systems we would admire. They do not see it as in any way conflictual or somehow undermining the credibility of their national judicial system.
