Dr. Etain Tannam:

The discussion of unification is clearly relevant to the discussion of the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement. Somewhere, something has gone wrong in terms of unionists not engaging. There is a sense that the word "alienation" is coming up a lot, which may have come up in the past. It is key that the Good Friday Agreement is seen to work for everyone and to work robustly.

I emphasised intergovernmental relations but all strands of it working together are key. We do not make that statement to make a distinction between me and the report, but our report is within the framework of the Good Friday Agreement. There is a strong connection between it being seen to work for everyone and engaging with any constitutional issues. I emphasise and echo the points made by some members of the committee.
