Dr. Ruth Gallagher:

I might add that the joint committee between the two commissions North and South has existed since 2001 and has carried out that work in a relatively unassuming way until the referendum, which gave us a renewed focus to our work. That relationship has been very rewarding for both commissions North and South. The body already exists. We have said that if we did not have it, we would have to invent it. It is about recognising that it is there, that it is set out in statute and can be called on.
