I agree in a sense because then there are opportunities presented by Atlantic Technological University and that reach up to the Magee campus and all that. We are waiting for the all-island rail review as well. Again, that presents opportunities for connectivity and transport across the island as well. I very much hear what Dr. Barrett says.

The ESRI states in one of the papers - it was probably Dr. McGuinness again - that "it would be reasonable to expect that Northern Ireland will be entitled to a share of UK assets" and that we would be "expected to take on a share of UK liabilities". Could Dr. McGuinness expand on that? I have not heard that mentioned before.
