  Here we propose an $A_4$ flavour symmetry model which implies a lower bound
on the neutrinoless double beta decay rate, corresponding to an effective mass
parameter $M_{ee} \gsim 0.03$ eV, and a direct correlation between the expected
magnitude of CP violation in neutrino oscillations and the value of
$\sin^2\theta_{13}$, as well as a nearly maximal CP phase $\delta$.
