The next item on the agenda is a motion on the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement. Before calling Senator Daly to move the motion, I remind members that this matter was dealt with last week by the committee, at which it was noted by the clerk that in the opinion of the Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement, this matter came within its remit and that it has agreed to hold meetings on it in the autumn with a cross section of interested groups. As Chairman, it is my view, and that of members who attended last week's meeting, that there is no point in this committee holding similar meetings to those proposed by the Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement. In fact, it would be a duplication of the work being done by both committees. Also, legacy and reconciliation issues form part of the 2015 work programme of the Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement. Does Senator Daly wish to comment?
