Ms Naoimh McNamee:

As the Deputy has pointed out, Ireland and Britain will always be intertwined. We have always been and will always be. We often say in Glencree that while the politics may change, the geography never will so we need to have very strong relationships. We need enough co-operation to shoulder each other's concerns, and build relationships and trust because all that is key for joint investment in Northern Ireland and the joint responsibilities of both Governments within Northern Ireland. The situation is complex but the importance of those relationships is vital, and that is a key area of focus for us in the Glencree Centre.
