Ms Émer Deane:

We are absolutely aware of the work of this committee, the reports from the committee of the previous Dáil and indeed the priorities identified for this one, including health. The shared island initiative, as the Deputy will be aware, is about whole-of-government policy and putting a sustained focus on the future of the island as a whole whatever the constitutional future of the island is. Everything we do is work that will be important in all constitutional futures. That is the framework in which we work.
