We have noted that. I thank the Minister and his officials for their work on the historic Stormont House Agreement. Our committee is working closely with them.

On St. Patrick's Day and the work that has been done in that regard, in my own capacity, I visited the Roscommon associations in Toronto, New York and Washington. I met the Minister, who was on his way to Toronto with his officials in economy class. Most people would not know that. I saw the Minister's work programme for the three days, selling Ireland and working with our friends from an economic point of view. The work done by all Ministers was incredible. I thank them. This has been the way for the past five or ten years. St. Patrick's Day is a major opportunity to sell our country.

As Deputy Ferris outlined, members of the loyalist community visited us last Wednesday. There is an opportunity on Capitol Hill and in the UK for people to get into the political process. The door is open. Our committee will work with everyone to ensure the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement.

I thank the Minister for attending. We appreciate the time he has taken.
