Let us keep it there for a moment. A lot of people are asking me, literally on the doorsteps, what is going on. They do not actually understand it. We are all aware of the ICJ ruling. I will not pre-empt him but if the Attorney General did come back with a negative, the people on the street feel that this would be a total contradiction of the rule that is already there, and that we should be employing the rules that are there and which were agreed at the highest level in Europe. How do we explain that? Perhaps the witnesses could tease that out little bit.
