I accept the Tánaiste has been robust in his dealings with the British Government around this legacy Bill, amnesty Bill or whatever one calls it. I have my own view. I have said to him previously that this is a British Government that will never accept a certain element of truth and justice for victims in the sense that it sees that as the British state having to admit to being involved in running death squads in Ireland. I accept that many things happened during the conflict which we all wish did not happen. That is a fact. I ask about the Tánaiste's engagement at an official or a governmental level. I accept things have improved and the mood music has improved as regards Rishi Sunak. The Tánaiste said he wants this paused, wants amendments and wants this ended on the basis there is no support for it. What is the engagement in this regard? What is he getting back from the British Government? If it is a disaster and the British Government ploughs ahead, are we looking at any alternatives from a legal point of view or whatever else?
