Mr. Tom O'Mahony:

There is always a rolling programme. We came in at a particular point when there was quite an agenda. In the note we sent to the committee last year we stated there were 40 different items. We chose a number to prioritise. Most of these things take two or three years to get through the entire process so many of the things we got to a particular point, for example, to a point of general approach, the Lithuanians are now seeking to progress to the next stage in developing the proposed political agreement. I would not say there is anything that is a major departure from we were doing - it is just carrying the same material to further stages of the process. Given the way the EU works now, when the Lithuanians took over our people, particularly those in Brussels, stayed very much involved in working with them so there was continuity.
