Ms Naoimh McNamee:

The centre does not take a position on the constitutional question. It is not our place to pass comment on that. I should clarify that when we mention inadequacies in the Good Friday Agreement, the agreement is a massive achievement and I would never wish to take away from that. When I mention inadequacies, I am purely talking about the victims' and survivors' sector and how the provisions were or were not there in that regard.

In terms of the constitutional question, what we find very unhelpful in our broader work is front-loading the destination. The idea that this is a fait accomplior that we will get to that point at some stage anyway is very unhelpful for the conversation. As far as we are concerned, our interest is in finding ways to live peacefully together, whatever form that takes in terms of the political change that we might see over the next ten to 20 years on this island. As I said, we do not take a position on the constitutional question.
