I have two very quick questions and I appreciate that it has been a useful engagement. I have to tip out to a meeting shortly. I have a question relating to Ireland's Presidency of the European Union. Every member state that has an incoming Presidency is keen to tie up infringements and other issues around human rights in the run-up to it. Does Mr. Herrick see an opportunity to press the Government harder on trying to address some of the systematic issues around the EU's view on the law being deficient here in terms of human rights for Travellers and Roma? Could this be a collective opportunity to try to address some of the systematic issues?
