I am aware of that and that not all the procedures would be the same but there are issues of concern that exist here and in the North. I am not totally satisfied with that response because we can have debate around the Executive and the Assembly ad infinitumbut there is a process happening. I think it is being chaired by Sir John Gillen. There is no reason the Department of Justice and Equality cannot engage with that process to ensure there is as much commonality in the process here as there and that there is co-ordination. This is a real opportunity to try to ensure as much consistency as possible across the Border. Will the Minister commit to making contact with Sir John Gillen's review body to ensure there is some kind of co-ordination and communication?
