Yes. Will the Deputy Leader in early course allow an hour for statements on the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly and the progress made by the body? A lot of worthwhile suggestions were made at yesterday's meeting and I shall mention two of them. One involves, as the Taoiseach said yesterday, our nearest neighbour and closest ally. A suggestion was made during a debate here that we have a bi-annual trade mission, led to the Taoiseach one year and the Prime Minister the following year.
