The members will have a copy of Deputy Crowe's motion to which Deputy Durkan has proposed a few amendments. I do not want to have dialogue on this day and I will give the members time to digest the amendments. I will read Deputy Durkan's amendments to the motion. Normally amendments should be submitted to members in advance in time for them to examine them. Deputy Durkan has proposed an amendment to paragraph four of the motion. Paragraph four, as amended, would read "commend all parties involved in the recent steps to commence a new peace process, trusting that it will progress without pre-conditions". Deputy Durkan proposes the deletion of the words "being set by any party". He proposes that paragraph five, as amended, would read "offer to share the experience of the Northern Ireland peace process which culminated in the Good Friday Agreement, and". He proposes that paragraph six, as amended, would read "state its continued support for a negotiated solution to the conflict in Colombia". These are possible changes the Deputy has proposed to the motion.
