Dr. Claire Mitchell:

When I think of the experimental forums happening at present there are a number by academics, there is Sinn Féin's process, the SDLP's process and some civil society initiatives also. Does anybody know what the finding is other than what has been reported to the committee? I am not sure where that knowledge is kept. It seems like a rather scattergun approach at present. Of course we have to dip our toes into the conversation to see whether it is possible and whether people will engage. Information gathering is something that might be quite important.
