Mr. Niall Murphy:

Absolutely, and if time defeats us, I hope to return to those themes throughout the meeting.

I was asked about resolution 117. We all know and understand the important role that American Administrations have played in negotiating and securing our peace. Those involved take great pride in their role. I have often travelled to America wearing different hats in my professional work. There is a genuine and in-depth understanding and defensive self-pride in the role that America has played in its foreign policy. This assuredness really stood up for the Good Friday Agreement at a sensitive time during Brexit. That is why we took the view it was important to conduct the interview with Congressman Richard Neal, who is chairman of the ways and means committee. It was not the then US President, Mr. Trump, who would sign the trade deal with post Brexit Britain but the ways and means committee. The committee made it crystal clear, as did Ms Nancy Pelosi, Congressman Brendan Boyle and Mr. Marty Walsh, that if one hair on the head of the Good Friday Agreement was ruffled, there would be no trade deal. That is an important critical resolution and one that should give us collective confidence for the path we are currently discussing. I am unsure what time I have left.
