We expressly included it in the motion. The motion reaffirmed sections 2 to 12 and section 5 of the Offences Against the State Act which related to certain inferences that might be drawn. Section 5 of the legislation relates to inferences from failure of accused to mention particular facts. In the 2007 legislation that was repealed by section 3 of the Criminal Justice Act. We went ahead and reaffirmed it in the motion. I ask the Taoiseach to take advice as to whether there is any question about the legal validity of the motion we passed.
