I apologise to Senator O'Sullivan for missing his contribution but I share his concerns, from what I hear he said. At the same time, as Senator Feighan noted, we have come a long way in recent years with the various agreements and so on. I was at Westminster recently with Senator Feighan and others and there is no doubt that there is tremendous goodwill over there for Ireland and our cause, even with Brexit and despite the difficulties in the British Cabinet. Members of Parliament such as Mr. Stephen Hepburn and Mr. Conor McGinn, along with others, are working hard in our best interests. The reception over there was tremendous.
