Well, I thank the Member for that question. She and I have discussed the nature of some of the posters and communications that other parties were advocating during the referendum itself as being a reason why this culture shift has developed.

Certainly, the European transition fund is being deployed to make the sorts of funding investment decisions that she is referring to in her question, and I think the community cohesion programme in particular has benefited from an expansion as a result of that. We are very mindful that one of the issues we need to be very clear about is ensuring that community cohesion, which has always been a priority for us as a Government, continues to be supported, and our regional community cohesion network is a key means for doing that.
