On that, I would support the implementation of regulations on dual-use items. The problem I am highlighting here is that the Government and the State plan not just to increase exports of dual-use items but see that as a growth industry and something to be promoted in a serious way. Because of precisely the points that have been highlighted by Deputy O'Reilly in her original amendments, I would have question marks as to the effectiveness of this Bill in properly monitoring what is going on here and I wanted to register those points.
