I will let them do that, but first I want to put a point to Dr. Foley in response to something he said, and then I will take whoever else wants to speak. I remind members that after Deputy Farrell's engagement we will come to the end of the first round. I have had a couple of indications from speakers who want to come in on the second round already. I remind members that there is other business to discuss this evening, in addition to this engagement, so we should be mindful of that.

It strikes me that when Dr. Foley was talking about the list of SLAPPs up on the wall, it could be argued that there is another defamation taking place because they are now being published in a newsroom in what is probably a less than favourable context. I will not say more than that, but it is an interesting insight into the workings of a newsroom. It is very helpful in a general sense.
