Ms Michelle Gildernew:

I appreciate that. I think the Chairman has identified that next week's meeting might not be filled at this stage. Senator Craughwell had indicated that we had not heard from people in the unionist community. I had asked Claire Sugden to come down last year to appear before the committee and talk to us. I was hoping to get Sylvia Hermon down at that stage as well, but that was not possible. As for the work that the committee wants to bring forward, among the best engagements we have had, the one with loyalist women was excellent.

We also had a session with loyalist ex-prisoners and another with nationalist and republican ex-prisoners. Maybe the committee could arrange to bring people in to talk about those issues for next week, although it is short notice.
