Senator Bacik has said a lot of what I would have said and I will content myself by repeating the points that are of interest to me. I believe there are some areas where there may be the capacity for too great an intrusion by the State. Senator Bacik, in her professorial capacity, dealt with those very well and raised those concerns. It remains to be seen what happens in the outcome in court through the legal system, whether those concerns are justified.

Senator Bacik raised the question that is closest to my heart, among those questions which I only glanced upon rather than dealt with in full in my Second Stage contribution, in particular the question of groups like the Shell to Sea protestors at Corrib.
