Dr. Alasdair McDonnell:

I welcome the witnesses and thank them for coming here today. I think we all agree with the case Border Communities against Brexit has outlined. It is very clear that the North wants to stay in the European Union and for many of us that would be our choice. If, however, we are dragged out of it, what is the thrust of the delegation's argument? Does it feel we should re-run the referendum or should we be resisting the Brexit process? I see this being dragged out for a long time. Does the group feel we should fight or how much value does it see in fighting to minimise the withdrawal process?
