Everybody sees the appeal of being able to make longer-term plans rather than just continuing as we are. It is another argument for getting an Executive up and running, with the North-South Ministerial Council and all the other parts of the Good Friday Agreement in operation. Nevertheless, we will leave it at that, given it is not the issue we are here to deal with.

Our guests might have dealt earlier with some of the learnings they have uncovered over the years. I understand that at times, they will be very careful in that everybody has his or her own prerogative North and South in regard to what he or she wants to do, but based on what our guests have seen as best practice, what have they introduced and, beyond that, what does the research suggest could be improved, whether that is something that is operated both North and South or only in one jurisdiction?
