Has the high level group addressed or discussed the range of measures introduced by the British Government under the guise of anti-terrorist legislation but which attack basic human rights? I am speaking specifically in regard to condemning people to detention within their own homes and the abolition of jury trial in many more cases. Is the Taoiseach concerned that the legislation the British Government introduced will apply to citizens in the north of Ireland? Has he raised with the British Prime Minister the grave concerns of people here about the prospects of the introduction of compulsory identity cards for citizens under the jurisdiction of Westminster?
