Yes, Belmullet and Ballycroy; I had better mention them all. I feel really excited about the work for the reason given by Ms Smyth, namely what it is possible for us to create. We have an unique opportunity to create something different, regardless of people's constitutional preference. When we see the exchange of learning across so much, it feeds into everything in terms of peace and reconciliation. As women, here and across this island, we can leave a legacy of enrichment and empowerment of communities and women, and of change.
