This time last year, the Tánaiste generously hosted a very successful Northern Ireland trade event in Iveagh House. This is an alliance between Hospitality Ulster, Manufacturing Northern Ireland and Retail Northern Ireland. Last week, the same trade event was held in Westminster and the Irish embassy generously hosted them in the embassy that evening. On 25 June, the event is again taking place in Iveagh House, and I believe the Tánaiste is hosting. We need to do an awful lot more of this. There are other organisations such as CHAMP, Anglo-Irish relations and so forth. What are the Tánaiste's views on expanding these organisations and hosting these events? They do an awful lot for North-South and east-west co-operation.
