Ms Saoirse Brady:

From a very pragmatic point of view, organisations in the South often work with organisation in the North because much of the EU funding would be joint funding. We have a common law system. I have been involved in EU projects where we would deliberately have a partner from the South, a partner in London and then one from another EU member state. That may be a civil law jurisdiction because we have a lot of commonalities and we understand the way the law works in the same way. We would also have many similar systems. Pragmatically, it will be problematic for some of our member organisations who seek joint EU funding for very important upcoming projects.
