I am conscious that we are only speaking to a relatively short section of less than one A4 page. Section 10 contains provisions for membership of the commission and the general functions. I am not going to labour too much on GRECO as many other people have made the points about it. As we know, the Attorney General referred to the Bill as a dog's dinner. I had better disclose that I happen to live, not in the constituency of the Minister for Justice and Equality, much as I might like to live there, but in Dublin-Rathdown. Lord Ross - or rather, the Minister, Deputy Ross - has his name on my ballot paper, and on those of Senators Richmond, Craughwell and Marie-Louise O'Donnell. I do not know if any of us voted for him the last time and I am not sure if any of us will next time. Obviously, a lot of people did.
