I have two brief questions. On the PEACE and INTERREG programmes, the Minister indicated that the possibility of providing support for the programmes post-2020 would be examined favourably. Much will depend on the outcome of the Brexit negotiations. Is the Department engaged in planning in this area? I presume a lead-in time is required in identifying programmes. Will the Minister elaborate on the issue?

While I do not expect an answer to my next question, I will ask it in any case. What exactly is the secret service?
