I wish to touch on a point that was raised in a previous contribution. It may be an unfair question, but Mr. Martin Collins made a point that I found intriguing. It concerned the obligations on the Government for equivalence of rights under the Good Friday Agreement and the recognition that exists for Travellers in the North. Does Dr. McVeigh see that as a possible avenue? Be it political, institutional or otherwise, there has been a reluctance and the reality is that it has not happened. The Good Friday Agreement is as old as it is and the recognition in the North exists. What are Dr. McVeigh's views on that?
