Mr. Declan Smyth:

I am not sure about the figures the Deputy has cited there. The question is to find the correct legal level at which to act. As I said earlier, there are states that regard the finding of the ICJ, that states should take steps to prevent trade, as not requiring prohibitions in law but to take other steps which might prevent trade. There is a discussion taking place among states as to what is the appropriate response to this finding. The Government is clear that it should be done legislatively. Where there is a clear basis on which to act that is what is being proposed here.
