Joe O'Reilly: I know labelling was mentioned earlier. The point made at yesterday's meeting, when Senator Black was in attendance and her colleagues have heard what was said, was that it would be complex to do the services aspect.

Joe O'Reilly: It goes without saying, as my great friend Deputy Brennan said, that we all want to pass the legislation and abhor what is happening. That is all a given. For the benefit of the public watching, insofar as people are, will Ms Ní Ghrálaigh explain again how the International Court of Justice trumps the EU and how it is superior in terms of case law and precedent? I would like her...

Joe O'Reilly: If we work on that premise, then, where does Article 24 restrict the manoeuvrability of individual member states? How does it restrict us?
