I thank Commissioner Šefovi for his answer. Obviously, ongoing engagement is a means of ensuring that we have the best way of streamlining. That is absolutely necessary. Beyond that, as I said earlier, the Commissioner's invite to Dundalk stands. I would like to think that Commissioner Šefovi would take me up on that in the near future.

I really appreciate the work the Commission has done, and in particular the Commissioner. Hopefully we can get to a better place with regard to the DUP playing its part in setting up the Executive. Hopefully we will not see the Stormont brake in operation. I suppose we will get more detail on its operation into the future.
