Sir, - My mother is from Belfast, my father from Dublin. I have enjoyed a wide spectrum of activities and involvements on both sides of the Border for some 40 years, and have benefited from both private and state funding in both jurisdictions. Does this mean I am a North-South body? Do I have any special powers? Have I been part of the peace process for years? I hope so. - Yours, etc.,
