I thank the ambassador for coming before the committee. As the Chairman has mentioned, I am a member of the Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement. I am also a member of the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence. I was listening to the ambassador's contribution in my office and noted that he mentioned his visit, on the invitation of the Ceann Comhairle, to the Mansion House. I asked him a question there which he did not answer so I will put it to him again here. Our Taoiseach has said that the EU needs to prepare for a united Ireland. I ask the ambassador if the UK will allow for a united Ireland to be included in the final agreement between the UK and the EU. Will wording to that effect be allowed for in the final document? I presume the UK will not have any objection to that.
