-----either inside or outside politics. There is a responsibility on us all, however, across parties and at all levels of society. What concerns me relates to what I see happening in broader society. I welcome the work that has been done in the Seanad of late and I look forward to that report being published. This committee will do a piece of work as well in the new year in trying to play our part in the preparedness.

The Good Friday Agreement sets out a charter of rights for the island of Ireland. There are so many commitments made as part of the agreement that are yet to be implemented, particularly in respect of the bill of rights and charter of rights. What more needs to be done by the committee and the two governments to ensure the rights that were promised in the agreement come about?
