Much as Deputy Carthy is an effective cross-examiner, I am not going to start going down the line of being cross-examined in respect of the legislation. The law is clearly stated. It is obviously there to be interpreted by the courts, not by us. In the International Criminal Court Act 2006, we have made certain offences, domestic offences in Irish law - war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and aiding and abetting them – and it is a matter for a court to determine. There can be prosecutions made in respect of it.
