Before that, I will have the semi-last word. Thank you for your presentation today. It is important to keep this going. There have been a few suggestions. We always have to go back to the role of this committee. This is an Oireachtas committee. It is our job to hold the Irish Government to account in respect of its responsibilities as co-guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement. That is where our focus is and where it will continue to be. It is our job to put the pressure on the Irish Government.

We are undertaking an inquiry into the Good Friday Agreement 15 or 16 years on to establish the position. This will be done with the Committee on Sovereign Matters chaired by Deputy Frank Feighan at the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly. We will keep you fully informed on that. Thank you for the presentation and I will leave the last word with Mr. Dallat, MLA.
