It is great to hear from Professor Heenan that there is so much appetite for cross-Border co-operation, but it is unfortunate there is not enough being done by governments North and South to support its expansion. What does Dr. Fitzpatrick believe we in the Oireachtas can do to bolster co-operation? Are there jurisdictions that have been rejected? Would the punitive labour market activation approach used North and South serve as a model for what a united Ireland welfare system could look like? Would Professor Dickson favour the introduction of stronger European Convention on Human Rights, ECHR, adoption legislation in the South that would allow superior courts to strike down legislation for ECHR non-compliance?
