That is certainly reassuring because I am told and I saw a tweet in which that was said by someone who is, as I understand it, a member but I take Mr. Ó hAinmhire's evidence. The fundamental issue is with regard to the issues being sought in that the legal adviser to the Government, the Attorney General, has said they are not possible. Are there elements of the case Mr. Ó hAinmhire wants to advance that are accepted as being in line with the legal advice of the Attorney General or is this down to differences of legal opinion? We are not qualified to adjudicate on such matters. I certainly am not. Are there elements of what Mr. Ó hAinmhire is contending that are accepted within the legal approach that the Government advice presents?
