I thank Dr. Farry. He got a good reference from one of our guests earlier, who said he was a very dynamic Minister in his day. I hope we will see him again, in some capacity, in that job. He could be a Minister in our Government any time.

I am struck that the question of convergence of pay, North and South, in all jobs and employment, would be a huge issue, regarding standards and so on, if there were to be a future together. I know studies have been done on that.

Is there an overarching view? One of the things we lose sight of in the debate about the future of the island is how we would fit it all together. Does that make sense?
