Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
Ballymurphy Families: Discussion
Emer Currie (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I thank the Minister, as always, for his diplomatic skills. We saw the fruits of his labour in recent days. When we come through the process, we will hopefully be able to say the same thing. We are all familiar with the expression "nothing is agreed until everything is agreed". The lesson here is that nothing is implemented until everything is implemented. It is really important that we get this right. So much good faith depends on this. As the Minister said, whatever the family or experience and whatever the atrocity or the trauma, there has to be a way that people can engage in trust in the framework set out along the principles with which we are all familiar, truth, justice and reconciliation.
