Regarding the paper, I was a bit concerned that it does not allow for any improvements in the Northern Ireland economy in the years following reunification. It was said it would take perhaps 20 years for productivity growth to improve in Northern Ireland following reunification. This statement has received much attention. What is the witnesses’ assessment based on with regard to economic modelling? Could they say a little bit more about that please?
