I take the point made by Senator Barrett. It is an important point, in respect of which we will be very vigilant. I would like to point out that under section 10 one of the functions of the commission is to participate in the joint committee with the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission in accordance with the multi-party agreement annexed to the

British-Irish Agreement within the meaning of the British-Irish Agreement Act 1999. That is built into the Bill.
