It is nice to meet Dr. Mathieson and Mr. Robinson. Have either of them have had the chance to read the command paper from yesterday and the references to the all-island economy? I very much welcome the developments and the fact that we are seeing a path to the restoration of Stormont very quickly.

This is very good news for InterTradeIreland and the North-South Ministerial Council.

Let me address the references to the all-island economy and the statement that there will be a complete repeal of all statutory duties. There was also reference to the red lane and the 20% limit on freight passing through Northern Ireland. Does that have a knock-on effect on InterTradeIreland’s work? How does it work in reality? How do the witnesses see it playing out?
