Mr. Francie Molloy:

I thank Mr. Robinson for his presentation. Happy St. Brigid's day to you all. The statement speaks for itself in terms the success of the programme. How effective it has been in dealing with the assembly being down? What effect has that had on the process of dealing with businesses in the North over the past couple of years? How has InterTradeIreland been able to accommodate that and work around it? It is to be hoped that the assembly will soon be up and running and that we can get the North-South bodies in place again. That will help. Are businesses in the North fully aware of the role of InterTradeIreland? Do they participate with it fully? How have the effects of Brexit impacted on the development of InterTradeIreland's programmes? I know from experience some of the work it has done. It is welcome and is to be encouraged in the future.
