Thank you Ms Logan. Before I call Deputy Pringle I wish to put some questions. In her presentation, Ms Logan states that withdrawal from the European Convention could have negative consequences for the uniformity of human rights standards across these islands, will she expand on this and specify the areas of particular concern?

Does Ms Logan believe that a Northern Ireland bill of rights would be a positive step forward in addressing the outstanding legacy issues that are impeding full reconciliation in Northern Ireland? Should the respective governments seeks to introduce a bill of rights as a matter of priority?
