I agree with everything the witnesses have said. I thank Mr. Holder for coming before the committee again under different headings. My questions are similar to those of Senator McGahon.

We have seen the Third Reading of the Bill. It has been said that we could challenge the UK through the ECHR. I want to acknowledge what the witnesses have said, namely, that it is through no fault of the Irish Government or want of trying. What can we do?

I have a set of questions I have put aside today, given everything that has happening in the UK. Does that change anything? Are we too late in the process? What can we do not just politically, but also from a movement point of view, to support victims through this? Where can we go from here to stop this? I agree with the witnesses that it is an irredeemable, unworkable and offensive Bill on every level. I want to stop it, but I am not sure what the options are.
