I absolutely agree with the Chairman. It is not just the responsibility of the Government. We all have a role, including Members and officials.

We all know the unique relationship between Ireland and Britain. I take it from the responses that Ireland will not seek special status for the North of Ireland in a European context. We are effectively saying that the British Government has rejected the notion of special status, be that membership of the EEA, associate membership or something like that. Are we now also rejecting that? I want clarification on that aspect.
