I have two questions. Deputy Ferris alluded to some of the issues that could cause difficulty in trade across the Border. What are the greatest difficulties, whether VAT or otherwise, coming from the republic face in accessing Northern Ireland markets?

Mr. Hunter McGowan remarked that InterTradeIreland was a public policy taker, not a policy maker. Will he elaborate on what we could do in both jurisdictions to help InterTradeIreland in the task of increasing the amount and volume of trade between North and South in particular and with the rest of the world as well? What can be done from a public policy perspective to help the organisation in its task?
