Ms Noelle O'Connell:

I thank Deputy Ó Murchú for those comments. We will be happy to send the survey participant profile, which I have to hand, to the clerk to the committee. We have got the breakdown from Amárach as to whether people identified as British and Irish, British and Northern Irish, British only, Irish and Northern Irish, Irish only, Northern Irish only, other EU nationality, or other nationality including English, Scottish, etc. Regarding how people voted, 64% of those in the polling sample voted to remain and 22% voted to leave. The proportion for "Did not vote" and "Not registered" stood at 2%, while 1% preferred not to say. The proportion for "Did not vote" or "Spoiled my vote" stood at 10%. We can send the breakdown to the committee. For a number of years, we asked whether people thought there would be a united Ireland in the EU in the next ten years. Last year, the proportion stood at 55% down here. In the North, 43% of people felt there would be a united Ireland in the EU in the next ten years. We took on board the feedback and that is why the question was as it was. There is much more information. For the sake of providing greater detail, and so as not to overload the committee with statistics, we will send on the full deck, which will provide some useful backup.
