At the very successful Fianna Fáil Ard-Fheis on Friday and Saturday evening, the leader of the party, Deputy Micheál Martin said:

Fifteen years ago Fianna Fáil negotiated and secured overwhelming public endorsement of a new departure North and South. ... What we are seeing today is an alarming disengagement by the British and Irish Governments, who act as if peace can be taken for granted. The flag riots and dissident violence simply cannot be ignored. What we need now is for the Governments to step up - not walk away.

I speak specifically today on the proposed Narrow Water bridge between Carlingford and south County Down.
