Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

As I said, the question of the North-South Parliamentary Forum is contained in the St. Andrews Agreement. With the Assembly restored, it would seem more realistic to get that up and running. I will again consult the party leaders on how we might make progress on that. Some of the difficulties we had in the past should now be removed and the North-South Parliamentary Forum will allow us to move on.
