We all appreciate that. This issue is arising out of obligations under European law and decisions of the European Court of Justice and other bodies. There is not a degree of flexibility insofar as the Oireachtas is concerned. Having said that, it appears the Bill will impair the Garda's ability to investigate crime. Is that a fair comment?
