It is obviously a role we have been awaiting in the Oireachtas for many years given the length of time it has taken to go through the Houses of the Oireachtas and then for the appointment to be made. I am not sure Professor Bunni can help me, but I would be interested to find out...

The general view that a policy fault line exists there is on the basis that there is no synergy with regard to North-South policy developments, policy implementation or capital infrastructure development.
