Does the witness think that this is something we should be supporting and calling for in order to strengthen it? I would always argue that there should be more cross-Border work. There should not be a Border at all, but while it is there this approach makes sense. The uncertainty presented by Brexit, for farming and rural communities, goes beyond the issue of policing and community safety into every aspect of people's lives. There has been a sharp focus on it, so there should be a collaborative approach. Perhaps the meeting with the UFU should be held earlier than January 2019, given the situation at the moment. If there is any way we can bolster that work or assist with facilitating the collaborative approach, the witnesses should let us know.
