Mr. Mickey Brady:

I thank the witnesses for their presentation. It was very informative and interesting. We recognise that there are many challenges in bringing people together. Obviously, there has to be co-ordination and contact. Will the witnesses explain the best way to ensure that everybody who needs to be around the table is around the table and included? That is my first question.

My second question is on an issue that has been the topic of much conversation recently, the advent of an all-island citizens' assembly. That could be a way of gathering representative views from across society. What are the witnesses' views on that? After such an assembly was convened, any recommendations, opinions and so on could be brought back to the Oireachtas for discussion. They are my two questions for the moment.
