Mr. Philip Maguire:

I cannot comment at this time on the relative populations of the two areas; that is something we might need to revisit. Off the top of my head, there seems to be quite an equal spread between north side and south side. The comparative populations of the two areas is an issue we might consider in order to ensure we are being even-handed. The forum will comprise community representatives, four councillors and representatives of five nominated organisations engaged in business and economic activity. We have to devise a scheme that will ensure there is objective selection not just in respect of the community representatives, but all the other members as well.
