One of the hallmarks to which Ms Mhainín referred is where the individual is sued as well as the organisation. That would definitely have a more chilling effect, so I imagine it would be a SLAPP.
I note Dr. Foley had indicated but, in the interests of time and in fairness to every speaker, I will move on to the next round of questions.
Perhaps Dr. Foley will have an opportunity to respond to Senator Ruane's question. If not, I will let him back in at some stage. I will try to get everybody in as we go along.
