Not at all. I am pleased that the Chairman intervened.

I have two final questions. Ms Logan will be aware of the equality budgeting campaign which comprises a group of civic society organisations which campaign that we carry out an equality impact assessment of budgets and Government policy in terms of how they would impact particularly on the most disadvantaged in society. I would like to get her thoughts on that.

Ms Logan outlined in her presentation that the human rights and equality framework and infrastructure on the island were premised on the promise of the Good Friday Agreement. One of the missing components is a charter of rights across the island and in particular a commitment to amend the Constitution to reflect and enshrine certain additional rights for citizens. That fits into the campaigns in which others have been involved on issues that have been raised at the Constitutional Convention.

I would welcome hearing Ms Logan’s thoughts on these two matters.
