Could I cut in for one moment please? I have just remembered the other issue I wished to raise. There are 100,000 UK citizens in Northern Ireland who have become naturalised by virtue of the fact that they moved there to take up employment. They include university academic staff, medical staff and so forth from various parts of the world who have been naturalised in Northern Ireland. They are not covered by the Good Friday Agreement in terms of seeking dual citizenship. Would the UK be prepared to assist that group of people with that in the context of Brexit?
