I am talking about the current situation and whether this proposal tends to represent a significant approval. To explore this point further, let us examine the issue of the civil liability regime in the draft EU proposal. To make this workable and have effective transposition of this into Irish law, are there changes we would need to make? For example, as I understand it currently, it is not possible to get legal aid for civil liability cases, when a hypothetical indigenous person is clearly not going to be able to afford to pay legal fees in Ireland.
