I have another question. My accent is obviously northern. For 26 years since the making of the Good Friday Agreement, we have had a section 75 duty in the North. There are two elements, the first being about promoting good relations among specific groups and the second being about equality of opportunity. To achieve these aims, we need data. We have the aims embedded in our international peace agreement, yet we are not very good at producing data. The challenge, therefore, is identifying an international example of good practice in the systemic embedding of data collection and analysis across services. I am thinking of other parts of Europe, maybe those with Roma or other traveller populations.
