I thank Mr. Shatter. I have a got few seconds left, so I will make the most of my time. Mr. Shatter said that this Bill is a matter of consensus in the political bubble only, but polling in the Irish Independent just a few weeks ago showed an overwhelming majority of the Irish public support the Bill. I believe the number is 74%. The public support a ban on trade in goods, and indeed services, with the illegal settlements.

Mr. Shatter has dismissed as wrong the views of the entire EU, the UK, the ICJ and the UN. Does he think it might be he who is a little out of touch when we talk about this bubble?
