Mr. Séamas Ó Tuathail:

I would say "Yes". As to whether any other protection can be removed, I would say "Yes". As to the difference of opinion, I will not comment. That has already been said. The Ervia question is for Ms Graham. As to whether I am satisfied that an amendment would not in any way affect existing rights, "Yes" is the answer.
