I welcome Vice-President Šefovi, and congratulate him on his great patience and the work he has considered. I also remind him that his invitation to Dundalk and the Border crossings still stands. Someday, hopefully, we will see them disappear altogether. The Commissioner has spoken of the importance of the Good Friday Agreement. We all agree there has been spectacular solidarity across Europe in terms of its importance. We hope that, with the Windsor Framework, we will see the Democratic Unionist Party, DUP, make up its mind and join the rest of us in restoring the Northern Executive and the necessary government for the people. How does the Commissioner see the intensive engagements operating? Will he also go into some detail on the Stormont brake and how he thinks that will operate? If there is time, I would like to hear about previous engagements he has had, including with stakeholders who are not politicians. Has there been more of that recently and do business people believe any of the questions around streamlining have been dealt with in the context of the Windsor Framework?
