Mr. David O'Sullivan:

There is a move away from ISDS as we have known it in the ad hoctribunals. There is a move towards a more structured and more judicial-like arrangement. I absolutely accept that this is a live debate and one which is taking place as we speak.

For the Oireachtas, it is in the end the decision of Members as to whether they take more time to see whether things will evolve or whether they vote against or in favour of the package. I would simply make the point that looking at this package in the round it has a huge amount to offer Ireland. I do not believe, sincerely, that the ISDS, or investor-state provisions, pose a serious problem from an Irish perspective at least.
