Professor Gary Murphy:

I refer to the point made about the Good Friday Agreement by Deputy Darragh O'Brien. We, as a State, should be very loath to start talking about a second agreement. The Good Friday Agreement was hard won. As both Deputy O'Brien and Deputy Brendan Smith, who is in the Chair, have mentioned, the Agreement probably has not been used to its fullest extent. That is what we should seek. I would be very loath for any Irish Government to consider or entertain such a notion if it came from the British.
