Mr. O'Sullivan has been most helpful. I will quote a line from a letter that was published in The Irish Times, which responded to his op-ed. It states:

ICS can take into account the investors' profit expectations arising from its interactions with a state or a statutory body. In short, [the writer asserts] the right to regulate does not protect a state from potentially very expensive claims that might arise from non-regulatory actions taken to promote a public interest.

How does Mr. O'Sullivan respond to that?
