Mr. Alex Baird:

Fair fa' ye, and I hope the Vice Chairman accepts that Ulster Scots greeting in the spirit it is given. Ms Gildernew mentioned the Border roads. I will offer just a point of information. Lately, only two roads have reopened. Before I went into politics, I was a civil servant working for the Northern Ireland Office and my title was "civil representative". In the words of Michael Caine, not a lot of people know this, but my role at the stage after the Good Friday Agreement was to work with the roads service to ensure all the Border roads were reopened, so I am only too well aware of the difficulties that were caused by the closure of the Border roads, and none of us wants to go back to that situation again. I am surprised that the two to which Ms Gildernew referred took so long but I think there was a bridge involved. I just wanted to get that information in.
