That clarifies that issue. Dr. Nuseibah talked about international law and breaches of international law. I am sorry for going through this in a robust way, but it is important there is a balance on this issue when it comes to the Irish Government's involvement. As I said, I have been to Gaza. I have highlighted the issue. I did 17 hours of television footage in Gaza, which anyone can see online at any time if they so wish.

From a legal point of view, if Dr. Nuseibah believes the Central Bank is breaking the law, from an international point of view, could someone here in Ireland - I asked the same question of the Central Bank last week - apply to the High Court to stop the Central Bank's involvement?
