There was a very useful presentation in the audiovisual room by the Centre for Advanced Sustainable Energy, CASE, in Queen's University Belfast. It looked at an all-island approach. Ian Marshall, Martin Doherty and others were talking about what can be done there and linking it to FDI and where we are in the North on capitalising on the dual market access. As Mr. Mac Flynn said, it is joined-up thinking that will get us to where we need to be to be able to be able to envisage something new and better right across the island and, indeed, between the two islands as well in future.

We will leave it there for today. I thank Dr. McDonnell and Mr. Mac Flynn for their attendance and for sharing their work with us and contributing to our report on the constitutional future. This is our economic section. We will probably have them back again in the context of workers' rights and as they complete their model, we will discuss it in further detail.
