Wales-Ireland relations: evidence session with the Consul General of Ireland in Cardiff
I think one of the things we could do with your advice on recently is rugby after everything that's happened in the last couple of weeks. [Laughter.]

Wales-Ireland relations: evidence session with the Consul General of Ireland in Cardiff
Thank you. You paint a positive picture, which is a good thing, but in your experience, what are the areas of greatest need for further governmental support or focus? Are there areas that need to be further explored or where co-operation might be at risk?

Wales-Ireland relations: evidence session with the Consul General of Ireland in Cardiff
Sorry, you've just spurred something in me there. Earlier on, you mentioned the importance of having a base here in Wales and that you picked up things that perhaps you wouldn't have otherwise. Your comments there about north Wales made me think—. I suppose…

One to you both, I guess. How would you like to Wales and Ireland co-operation extend beyond 2025? Are there other areas, activities, you think could or should be included?

Questions to the Senedd Commission
I know you agree with me, Llywydd, that it's essential for Welsh democracy that the Senedd promotes itself to the people of Wales, and especially to children and young people. And in light of transport costs, I wonder what more the Commission could do to…

The majority of sanctions, including universal credit, can be resolved quickly by claimants rebooking and attending their next appointment, and if information that amounts to a good reason comes to light, the sanction can be overturned and money repaid. I'm…

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
As a cat owner myself, I'm delighted that Sarah Murphy tabled this question, and I welcomed the Welsh Government's introduction of Lucy's law 18 months ago, which seeks to ban third-party sales of cats and dogs under the age of six months. On reading your…

I agree with you on the Oscars. You've touched a little bit on your organisations' future plans in your answers to the previous question, but I did want to get a steer on what your organisations' future plans for Wales-Ireland co-operation are, and if they…

The same question to Oliver, if that's okay, Chair—what are the plans for the future and do they need any Welsh Government support.

Right. Obviously, my question was about your future plans, so am I to read that, if there is no continuation of Horizon, there are no future plans?

When you say, 'extend on existing areas', do you mean the literal co-operation that's in place now, or are there specific schemes that are in place now that you'd want to see extended?

No problem; thank you, Chair. You've touched on this a little bit already in various answers, but how would you like to see Wales and Ireland co-operation extended beyond 2025? Are there other areas that you'd like to see included in the future, for example?
