I thank Dr. Saheb. I think all the Members of these Houses would recognise the context of EU treaties and Ireland as an interesting debate, one in which we have had plenty of practice in recent years. It is something that we would have to explore. I think it would be a decision made in a referendum of the people rather than one taken by Parliament, but we would have to discuss the depth of this treaty. I have no other speakers volunteering, so we will start again. I call Senator Boylan, whose hand was the first up.
