I thank all the contributors. One of them referred to the elephant in the room, which since last Friday morning, has been on the loose and on the rampage and that is the in-out EU referendum in the UK. Any discussion about an all-island economy, therefore, has to take that into account. The referendum will happen within the next 18 to 24 months. What are the delegation's views on the potential impact of Britain's exit from the EU on an all-island economy? If the representatives were on the negotiating team with Brussels seeking various concessions to sell the notion of Europe, what concessions should be sought that would assist the development of the economy in the North?
