I apologise for being late. I am just trying to simplify this. We are all on the one page. We can speak about the kids and what is happening over there. We know the numbers of deaths. I believe we are very united in this room on where we are going with this but can we try to explain for the ordinary person? We are waiting on a judgment from the Attorney General. He will either go pro on this Bill or against this Bill, especially in relation to services. I would love the advice of the learned people in this room on the answer to both of those questions if we get an answer back from the Attorney General. What are our options? The key words that are coming up all along are the obligation on Ireland not to aid and assist. What are our options if the Attorney General comes back with a negative? How do the witnesses encourage us to drive on if we get a positive response? Could I just throw this to all the witnesses?
