Mr. Peter Bunting:

I accept that. The Senator is right. For all who were here earlier, the Fresh Start Panel report on the disbandment of paramilitary groups indicates an endorsement of what we have done so far. Mr. McFeely is correct that this has been endorsed by Arlene Foster. Therefore, it is something we should use to make progress with. It is depressing, but it gives us a little bit of light where we can move forward with regard to it. If we are ever to get to the decommissioning issue or whatever, it is important that we work on the issue of the prisons.

With regard to a political steering group, anything that helps will be significant. The big question is whether, within a political steering group, we engage with some church bodies from the Presbyterian church, the Church of Ireland or whatever in Northern Ireland. That would be important also. Decent people such as Sammy Douglas in the DUP and others in the Unionist Party should get into that political steering group if they have the strength to do that. There are loyalist prisoners involved in this as well and everything we get here, they get, so they are benefiting as well. The interesting thing about that is that, as Deputy Ó Cuív said, there is a different atmosphere over there. We have been over there ourselves and it is light years away from the way people in Roe House are treated, but if we can reach the point where everyone is moving forward again, it might encourage some people from what is termed the pull community to move into that political steering group. I thank the Chairman for the invitation. I hope I will not be back. It will be progress everywhere from now on.
