In that regard I would make one observation. We must be careful, as these are foreign affairs issues that may be more appropriate to the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade. The issue about which this committee is concerned is the safety of citizens from those coming back from there who, if I am reading the matter correctly, may have been radicalised, who may be strongly affected by what they have been involved in and who may decide to carry out acts here for whatever reason. That is the kind of concern in which the justice committee would be interested. However, I take the Deputy's point.
