[00:26:05] S5: Just lastly before you go, the government does have the heads of a bill, which it hopes will become law at some point, probably next year at this point. It's called the communications interception lawful access bill. Do you know where we are with that generally? This is for the the minister for justice. [00:26:23] S4: Yeah. I know the cabinet approved the drafting of it last January, the January 20, and there is a process that then has gone through within the Department of Justice. It then goes to the Oireachtas Committee on Justice for what's called pre legislative scrutiny, and they'll have an opportunity to examine it then. And that'll be an interesting stage because when you get those heads of the bill, you will get experts in to look at it, see what they think about it, make their criticisms. You will have people who are against it, and you'll have people for it. And they will go back to the department with recommendations for what the final bill should look like. When we get it in the, then there's another process when we get to parse it and look at criticize it and accept it. [00:26:58] S5: So we'll have more discussions like that. [00:26:59] S4: We'll have much more discussion. And I'm looking forward to that. It is, as you say, it's an area of fraught with difficulty, but I think we have to approach it from the point of view that there are times when the good... The the the, I suppose, protection of the many outweighs the rights of the one.

We are Indo Sport with me, Joe Molloy, and we [00:28:06] S2: have things like this. How do you support the IRA when they keep [00:28:09] S3: this money? No. It's just I support the IRA's cause to end British rule in Ireland, and I still believe there shouldn't be British rule in Ireland as an Irish person. Yeah. What I don't support and will never support is the killing of innocent lives on... No matter where. I just don't... I don't I don't agree with that, and I will never agree with that.
