I will just ask questions rather than say anything to the speakers other than "well done". Sport could be such a unifying thing on the island. Will the witnesses elaborate on what more we could do to encourage more North-South sporting activities? I refer particularly to junior level and the less excellent levels, that is, just ordinary football and other games. That would encourage people to interact.

I agree with Ms Walsh. Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann is doing a lot in that respect but I would be interested in the witnesses' thoughts on how we could integrate more of the music across the island.

On Ms Mufaro Justen's comments, apart from the need to move away from direct provision, the big issue is how long it has taken to get people accepted and into the workplace. The jobs are there and there is a need for people. Why not process people much more quickly? Is the situation better than it was? People should be out of the system and into society quickly.
