Senator Brian Hayes asked if the Government would be bound by recommendations of the commission. That is not in this agreement and could not be because the Good Friday Agreement speaks for itself and this is a supportive measure. It is not something that could bind either Government because that would amount to a significant change to the Good Friday Agreement. Recommendations of the commission are unlikely to call for direct action by the Government but in the agreement on monitoring and compliance, the UK Government has undertaken to resolve claims made about parties in the Assembly in accordance with the commission's recommendations and in consultation with the Irish Government so there is direct effect.
