It is good to see the witnesses and I thank them for the work they are doing. It is great to see that they are opening it out. That is warmly welcomed.

I have a couple of questions, including a final one around a community in north Antrim I am very close to. I have touched on it before.

As the closing date for submissions for the North-South research programme is next week, can the witnesses give us an overview of the level of submissions in each of the three strands? Was there an expected number of submissions in each strand and what type of numbers have we seen in each?
