I want to add to what Deputy Stanton said about looking at domestic legislation in some EU states. Mr. Walsh might be able to give us a practical manifestation of what would happen if, for example, a human rights abuse occurred in the Amazon and the remedy was in a court in Dublin. How would he see that working out practically, with particular reference to the conduct of the hearing but also, and perhaps more importantly, in the enforcement of a judgment either way?
