Ms Caitríona Ingoldsby:

At this juncture, we are very sensitive to the need to look at this carefully. The options paper specifically recognises the Good Friday Agreement and notes it and the fact that specific consideration was to be given to the respect for the overall balance of the settlement underpinned in the Good Friday Agreement. That is an important thread. As we worked through the options paper, that was a consideration. It has been interesting to hear what some of the committee members had to say on that.
