I again thank the Tánaiste for his detailed replies. So many years on, we tend to forget the difference the Good Friday Agreement made. Generally, that would be the case across the country. We need to reaffirm our views as to what it did. It brought about peace. We need to support that concept in a way we have never done before. We have this opportunity, which the Tánaiste has already referred to, to take it further and to work on the agreement in such a way as to reassure all communities on the island of Ireland that there is nothing to fear from the closer co-operation that should and will come and is part of the Good Friday Agreement.
