Ms Róisín McGlone:

One of the things Ms McNamee said that is particularly important is that we do not dictate to victims. What we do is to encourage them to have the people around the table who can help and work with them. There has been enormous success in terms of walking with people on a journey. Sometimes, people view victims as people who are out there and different from the rest of us but they are exactly the same as us. They have fears, concerns and anxieties just as we do. The beauty of a project like ours is that there is no rush. We can take things at people's own pace.

With regard to the public-facing aspect of our project, if you go back seven years to when funding for Glencree was first thought about and when the SEUPB entered into negotiations, it was probably felt at that stage that we would be an awful lot further on by now. In those seven years, there has been the assembly at Stormont. All our groups are from the North, although one of the groups we work with works with some victims in the South. However, we thought we would be an awful lot further on. That is what we were alluding to in the end part of the statement, which was about the political, social and cultural background to this work. It has been very difficult and painstaking but we now have the people around the table who need to be around the table. Ms McNamee would know more about the all-Ireland situation than I would. Perhaps she would like to follow on in that regard.
