Sorry, but, to be clear on the legal point, there is legislation on intimidation and harassment coming down the line. The basis of it seems to be the creation of a catalogue of repeated offences, so this is happening in other legislation. Has An Garda Síochána, as implementers of the law, done a piece of work on how it will deal with that? Whatever about this legislation, it seems like that is coming down the line and there will be a kind of falling between the cracks if An Garda Síochána has four engagements with somebody in that it is only at the very last moment that a garda records a breach in some way. I am not sure that that would be compliant with intimidation and harassment law either.
