I like to think there is a great deal of work that can be done by the bodies that are already set up. I want to follow this through at the next North-South Ministerial Council on 2 November.

I take the Deputy's point about the anti-sectarian issue. That is an issue of concern to everyone. Deputy Martin is well aware of the close co-operation between the PSNI and the Garda. Yes, I saw some of the Northern Ireland producers at the SIAL exhibition for food producers in Paris yesterday. It is the second biggest such exhibition in the world. It was enormous. I was happy to launch the international element of Origin Green, which is a programme for Irish producers in competition with others from around the world involving the highest standard of quality foodstuffs. The programme is going very well.

Deputy Adams inquired about Ms Marian Price-McGlinchey and Martin Corey. I received the file the Deputy sent and I have read it. An appeal hearing on the case is to be heard this week on 26 October. Clearly, I cannot comment in advance of it, but I have the file and I have read it. I will await the outcome of the hearing this week before I make any further comment on it.
