Sure. As for the relationship between Britain and Ireland, that relationship has reversed significantly in recent times. Britain actually started to take unilateral decisions with regards the relationship between the two countries. It would not be unusual for a participant of an agreement to state that they would seek to uphold that agreement up to the point of even using the courts to do that. It would send a strong message to the families of the victims of Bloody Sunday, of Ballymurphy, of the Springhill massacre, as well as the victims related to Operation Greenwich, following the report that was reached yesterday. At this juncture, a strong message to the British Government is needed to state there is a line that cannot be crossed when it comes to upholding the Good Friday Agreement.
