I thank the Chairman. I did not realise I was going to be first. This is a very general question for Mr. Lupton. He stated in his second submission:

It is quite clear to me that robust laws will act as a disincentive to bad faith actors, and properly enable An Garda Síochána and other State Agencies ... Those robust laws must be compliant with the Constitution and Charter of Fundamental Rights, as interpreted through the various decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union.

In Mr Lupton's opinion, is this legislation in compliance with law? Has he an outline of what he sees are problems, if any, in relation to this?
