What comes across is a lack of confidence in the Stormont House Agreement to bring about a resolution to these issues. The elephant in the room is the British Government. Without it, can that resolution come about? We know what has to happen down here, where we need something similar to address the issues, and those of us in the Parliament will keep pursuing that.

Another point was brought home to me recently by the various contenders in the election for the British Conservative Party leader and Prime Minister. They have shown absolute ignorance of and a lack of interest in Ireland and Irish history; they just do not know. I also think that they do not know what is in the Good Friday Agreement either, and my fear is that legacy will go further down the line of priorities. I wonder whether Dr. Leahy could comment on that.
