Democracy is interfering again as there is another vote in the Chamber. On behalf of the committee, I thank the delegates for meeting us. The discussion has been very informative on an issue of profound importance to long-term peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland for future generations. Looking to the future, as distinct from living in the past, the presence of Jake today clearly demonstrates how the issue is about the future. The delegates' articulate engagement with the committee and its powerful message give great hope for the future of Northern Ireland. The committee looks forward to travelling to Northern Ireland to visit a school of their choice. It is great to create links. The committee is very united on one matter, the need to be helpful.
