My request is concerned with allowing us to fully understand this proposed legislation. Regarding head 4, it was mentioned several times that it has withstood the scrutiny of a series of court decisions. I am interested in that aspect and I ask Mr. Kelly to send the committee a note with more explicit information in that regard. I refer in particular to situations where any of those court judgments, whether in the Supreme Court or elsewhere, contained explicit consideration of these specific sections and how they meet the requirements of the relevant European Court of Justice, ECJ, decisions to which I, Deputy Cian O’Callaghan and the Chair referred. That would be helpful.
