Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Working Group on Unification Referendums: Discussion

Dr. Alan Renwick:

I will reply to the final point because I have already spoken quite a lot and I will bring in Dr. Tannam and Professor McCrudden rather than replying to the other questions. On the final point about the constitution unit, it was established in 1995, so alas we were not around in 1989 to advise on those processes. Perhaps the closest parallel is that we were involved prior to the devolution arrangements being set up in the UK, particularly in Scotland and Wales. In the late 1990s, the constitution unit did quite a lot of work in this area. Most of our work has been advising on constitutional reform processes and political reform processes within the UK. I will turn to Dr. Tannam who might want to pick up some of the other questions.
