Professor Colm O'Cinneide:

I am a law professor in London; I am probably the least qualified person in this meeting to comment on winning hearts and minds on the doorsteps of Dublin or elsewhere. I will just emphasise the need for an honest and transparent debate. In the context of Irish politics, that is incredibly important and necessary. As I said, this committee's discussion is a good example of exactly the sort of transparent and honest debate that needs to happen.
