I thank the Cathaoirleach letting me come in a little early. Unfortunately, I will have to leave for something happening at 11 a.m. I thank our witnesses for coming in. I have only a couple of questions.

I wish to ask about New Zealand. Recently, New Zealand introduced a version of safe access zones. Breaches of those zones are punishable by fines of up to 1,000 New Zealand dollars. Do the witnesses think the introduction of fines could help deter protesters in these areas? What are their thoughts on that?
