It is appropriate to take a break now. The Vice Chair is on his way. We will suspend for five minutes because I have to go.

Before I do, we need Mr. Bruton back because he is stimulating debate and there are issues we need to probe further. If there is anything I can say from what I am gathering from talking to unionists in my very small way, it is they are telling me that if we can work on issues of health, housing and cross-Border economic co-operation, all of which they want, we can look at a future together, but if we do not get that consensus, it will not happen. Also, if we force it on people, we will only end up with a significant minority who will have an equivalent of an IRA campaign down here in 15 or 20 years' time, and it will not work.
