I thank Dr. Morrow for his presentation. I totally agree that the key issues regarding the Agreement must include the nature of the Border, its management and the future competences of the three strands within the Agreement - citizenship, rights and equality. The latter are so important, as are trade, economic relations and support for reconciliation. In Dr. Morrow's experience, what is the energy from Westminster and what is the energy from the Irish Government? Coming back to the priority, because this is so important, particularly for Ireland in general, what is Dr. Morrow's experience of it? In a perfect situation, what does he feel should really be focused on today? What are the beginning stages? What should be worked on at present? What is the timescale in all of that? We do not have much time, which is a bit worrying.
