It is an honour to meet Senator Mitchell, even remotely. I offer him my sincere thanks for everything he has done to bring peace to this island. As we are under time pressure, I will ask my question. What would he do to reinvigorate our commitment to the Good Friday Agreement 25 years on? We have many people who were not directly involved 25 years ago and perhaps were not directly impacted by the Troubles. What would he do to reinvigorate that commitment? That is linked to what is happening at the moment. He has seen his fair share of crises over the years. He shared a story with us on how he managed one. I am not sure whether with social media he would be able to take the same approach today. What advice, if any, does he have for the current crisis?
