I have a final question for Dr. Conor Patterson. New council structures are in place in the North. It is sometimes the case that councils have somewhat more freedom and speed of movement compared to North-South institutions. What roles can councils start to have? Dr. Patterson is involved in the Newry and Mourne element. Is there a stronger role that these councils should be taking?
