That is an interesting point about the concept of review and renew. Over the last couple of months, when we have been speaking to people, there have been two very clear views on the Good Friday Agreement. Some people argue that it should be left alone, as it was in 1998, and that an agreement is an agreement which cannot be altered and changed. Others have suggested that it should be opened up to discussion again. Am I right to say Mr. Durkan's view is that within two years, we should renew and review it and tinker with it, or should we leave it alone? Where does Mr. Durkan stand on that?
