I wholeheartedly support everything Senator Mac Lochlainn said about Lough Foyle. I also wish to mention briefly the situation in the North and the lack of power-sharing, which will lead to a political vacuum when Brexit is on the agenda. People in the North deserve a channel or a voice through their Assembly. That is lacking now, so there can be no broad debate by the communities' representatives in Stormont. That is an indictment of the political process and is definitely an indictment of Theresa May's government. There is a need for the Taoiseach and the British Prime Minister to discuss this issue. It is crucial to all citizens in the North that Stormont is up and running again, particularly in light of Brexit.

I was taken aback by the recent Constituency Commission report which showed the city of Derry as Londonderry on its map. This was done by a Government agency here.
