These bodies are extremely important, there is no doubt about that, but they are important as much because of their symbolism as what they do and I would not for a second understate what they do. Their symbolic value lies in demonstrating that things are often better done together. As I have said, the practicalities of doing things together are quite intriguing because of the anomalous position of the absence of a devolved Executive or Assembly in Northern Ireland. Nevertheless, the symbolism still exists. Each of the bodies has done its work with considerable tact and effectiveness in the sense that nobody has got any impression that anybody is bullying anybody else or trying to force people to do things they would not freely choose to do.
