Dr. Matthew O'Neill:

I will come in on the question of MEPs. The reason we went with that language was that Northern Ireland of course had a history of MEPs. We thought there was more of an understanding of that, rather than asking about observer status. We thought that would not have been a clear communication towards what observer status actually is. It depends on different third countries that would engage with that. We thought because of a sort of muscle memory of what it was like to have three MEPs, it would be an easier question to ask. There was a much more honest connection. That was our rational thought.
