My final question is to the representatives of the Irish Council for Civil Liberties. I welcome and support the campaign of the ICCL against spit hoods. It might be useful if the ICCL representatives could paint a picture of what spit hoods are like. I know that in Britain they have been compared by the Met to the hoods used in Guantanamo Bay. Obviously, they are not exactly the same, but can the ICCL representatives give people a picture of what they are like?
