Ms Eastwood, I see you want to come in. Maybe you want to answer those questions, but there is one other specific question I want to ask you. You have talked about reducing the impact on the rights of drug users. Drug users are criminals at the moment in Ireland because it is an offence, but is there, in your view, a right to use drugs? I appreciate that reducing the impact on the rights of drug users does not mean there is a right to use drugs, but do you think there is such a right?
