Ms Geraldine McGahey:

We do not engage on the political side of things, but they have a fairly good understanding of what is happening in Northern Ireland, the significance of the issues, particularly in respect of the divergence of rights, and where gaps exist between Northern Ireland and Great Britain. They are very supportive of that kind of work. They express a keen interest in the work of the dedicated mechanism unit and the work of both commissions, along with the all-island dimension. They are very engaged. I would say the level of engagement varies among Members. At the same time, if you were to look at it on a party basis, there is a high level of engagement.
