Mr. Maurice Campbell:

I have been working with Dr. Farry to develop the paper. That process in itself has brought to my mind, perhaps for the first time, the depth and the number of issues, and how complex it is to define what a future would be like if there is to be a proposition placed before the people in Northern Ireland. As Dr. Farry said, there is learning from the mistakes of Brexit and any future proposition must be fully fleshed out. There must be a lot of work done in advance to see just what it is going to look like. There are very significant options that might be available in such a proposition. Unless those are worked through and thought through in advance then we risk an outcome that would not have a sufficient majority. A result of 50+1 is our absolute position but if there were to be change it would be wonderful to have it based on a much larger majority than that. In order to achieve that then a lot of work must be done in advance.
