We have roughly two hours for a debate. I will ask a couple of questions. I am wearing a mask because I am deemed a vulnerable person for the purposes of this pandemic.

My question will be very clear. I fully believe in the concept of Irish unity and a united Ireland. I am starting from that premise, but will ask our witnesses devil's advocate questions. Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left, GUE/NGL, is clearly stamped on the front of their report. What is the significance of that?

It seems from reading it that it is an independent, legal and academic report but what is the significance of the party political logo on the front? How would it be viewed by those who might be of a different persuasion to the GUE/NGL?
