Mr. Tilson is obviously exercised by the question put by Deputy Mulherin. With due respect to him, perhaps he could share with us the responses rather than the answers he got when he put those questions at European Council level and to the UK Government or whatever level of UK governance he met. Obviously, he had a discourse with them and got responses. Rather than dwelling on the answers to the questions, perhaps he might share with us the responses he got when he raised the issues to help us inform ourselves a little better. With respect to Deputy Mulherin, that is what she is trying to ascertain here. It might be helpful if Mr. Tilson could do that so that we could continue to have a discourse on the matter.
