Mr. Paul Hannigan:

Very much so. I will not go too far back, but after the recession hit around 2009 or 2010, North-South relations disappeared completely from the next programme for Government. They were nowhere to be seen. It was the first time that had happened in many years. Arguing for the issue was difficult for us at the time because it was not seen as a priority for the Government, given the situation. It has made its way back onto the agenda, though, and we can see it coming in through various strategies, for example, the global citizen strategy that was recently published. If we can continue pushing it forward, there is a receptiveness in Northern Ireland to discuss it further. With the re-establishment of the assembly, now is a good time to do that.
