I have a question regarding different rules concerning standards in public office. We have two sets of rules on the island when it comes to managing political parties and campaigns. What are the witnesses' views on that aspect? We saw how the Brexit campaign went in the UK and how much money was spent on it. How could that aspect be managed to ensure fairness?
The report states that the same proposal would have to be put to voters North and South. Does that mean that there would have to be significant co-operation between the two Governments? Mention was also made of the British-Irish Intergovernmental Conference as a place to do that. Will the witnesses elaborate on that suggestion?
