I thank Mr. Durkan for coming all the way down and for being here in person today and contributing to this debate. It is one that I personally find very intriguing because I think we have to learn from the past before we can move forward. We have to have an understanding of why those who took major steps and put their neck out did so and of the spirit in which they did so. We have to give leadership to the political leaders of tomorrow who will hopefully take this island forward in the footsteps of the Good Friday Agreement architects and in a manner in which all in the economy can move forward and cater for all the people across all counties to make sure everybody has equal opportunities and equal rights. Again, I thank Mr. Durkan for coming here today.

We will go into private session.
