Yes. In Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada, Breffni Park and elsewhere. Mr. O'Connor also mentioned the ceasefire in July 1997 and I remember where I was that day. I was at the Ulster final in Clones, which Cavan won of course, which was important. We do not win enough of them but Mr. O'Connor's county is on a high with hurling at the moment and it is great to see such athleticism, quality and skill in hurling.

Mr. O'Connor mentioned that centrality of the two Governments having a good and close working relationship and that they are understanding of each other's problems. If that generosity, understanding and synergy from working together is not there, then we are in difficulty. My colleague, Senator Blaney, touched on how people have mentioned that it is time for a review of the Good Friday Agreement or whatever. We should never forget the fact that it was a hard-won agreement and that it was endorsed by 94.4% of the people in our State and by 71.1% of the people in Northern Ireland. That was at a time when the DUP was opposing it. It won overwhelming endorsement from the people of this country and the mandate that all of us on this island have in politics is to implement the Good Friday Agreement. It was the only day since 1918 that we voted on the same question on the same day throughout our island.
