Those business representatives were complimentary of the work being done by the Department. I will just pass that message on. I do, however, think these processes need to be formalised to ensure we are ahead of the curve here. I refer to the many things we need to do on Brexit, for example, in respect of goods and services, and opportunities we need to avail of as they arise.

It was stated the shared island unit is mainly concerned with capital projects. We are doing work now on women and the Constitution to try to ensure nobody is left behind in respect of having their say, regardless of what their constitutional preference is, regarding how we shape things in future. There seems to be a real appetite among women's groups and hard to reach groups in respect of wanting to have a say in how we shape the future of the island. Is that something the shared island unit can facilitate or assist with in relation to the practicalities of bringing these voices to the fore as a collective?
