I will ask questions quickly and Mr. Murphy might answer them as he goes.

I thank Mr. Murphy for his ongoing work and Senator Frances Black as well. I wanted to ask the Ireland's Future representatives to speak to the significance of resolution 117 by the US Senate foreign relations committee. That committee has spoken in one voice on accountability, reconciliation, prosperity and its unwavering support for the Good Friday Agreement.

I note what Mr. Murphy said about the role that legislators can play. In particular. I am interested in the European Parliament and what it can undertake by way of research on the implications of the reunification for the EU.

Mr. Murphy spoke about the fundamental barometer being electoral results. I wanted to ask about the significance of the results of the census when they come out and combining these with the electoral results. He will not have time to answer that in this section but perhaps after he answers the other questions, he might address those points.
