I agree entirely with Professor McGuinness. That is the key point that if you are going, from a preparatory perspective, for a referendum on unity, if you have not worked it all out and if it is not clear to everybody the black and white of what will happen, it will not work anyway and people will not embrace it because there is not certainty and there is not progress. There has to be a benefit for everybody regardless of whether they are orange, green or whatever. This is beneficial.

We will move on. I do not know if the SDLP are here. There is an election on. I would say we will say the same for the Alliance, who are always here. Dr. Farry is not here today. He must be canvassing for whatever reason. I do not know. So we are back to the Sinn Féin MP, Ms Gildernew.
