Surely such a proposal would breach Directive 2000/84/EC.<br>
<br>
> Out of interest, would a release to support such a change be possible?<br>
<br>
I think we'd need to see more than just "a proposal" before making such a<br>
change. Normally we would expect to see actual legislation.<br>
<br>
(How does Ireland implenet EU Directives? Direct transposition into law or<br>
rewriting them the way the UK does?)<br>
