Ms Emily Logan:

The Deputy is probably aware that as a commission, IHREC works closely with its colleagues in Northern Ireland through the mechanism provided for under the Good Friday Agreement, which is called the joint committee of both commissions. Brexit has given a renewed focus to what we have been doing. We have published a paper on it and we have been looking at trying to ensure that the equality case law being transferred from Europe and the human rights provisions will be as strong as they currently are after 29 March 2019. Both commissions have been working together. The bill of rights is in there but it is very much a provision for Northern Ireland. Ireland has multiple international treaties to which it is a signatory so it is not a conversation that has happened in Dublin. It has happened more in the context of the Good Friday Agreement.
