Ms Michelle Gildernew:

I thank Mr. Corrigan for his very informative contribution. I also thank him, Grainne Teggart and the entire Amnesty International team for the work they have done on this issue. It feels like they are busier now than they have ever been, between this and all the work that had to be done on repeal.

One of the things that Mr. Corrigan mentioned was that the best recourse for all of us is repealing this legislation. It is widely held that Labour could be forming a Government after the next election. Does Mr. Corrigan get a sense from them that repeal is on the agenda? I know the Tories are very gung-ho about all of this and I saw Sunak’s comments on television last night. Is there any hope that a Labour government may bring about a repeal of this legislation and try to fix it?

My second question is around people travelling from Dublin back home to the North. There has been previous evidence of a bit of racial profiling, particularly on public transport. Has Mr. Corrigan any thoughts on that or statistics and figures to show if that is still ongoing? That is obviously an issue for the Irish Government. What is its position on all of that?
