Okay, I will clarify that. National courts can act in the public interest. Investor courts act in the interests of the corporations. They are separate entities. It is apples and oranges to try to compare the two. These are special investor courts. I am not talking about a trip down to the Four Courts. I am talking about a special, separate system - the Minister knows I am - whereby our national courts can act in the public interest and do so on many occasions. These courts are separate. They are investor courts. They are separate from the normal court system. It is not fair to try to draw an equivalence between the two. My question was about whether the Minister was concerned. If it does not concern him, I want to tell him now that it concerns me.
