Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Engagement with Representatives from the Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation

Mr. Mickey Brady:

I thank the witnesses. Obviously, part of the difficulty is the confidentiality and the issues in getting groups around the table who probably, in many cases, fundamentally disagree about many things. The centre has been successful, as far as I am aware, in getting disparate groups together and going through stuff.

The other question I have relates to something that is very topical at present, that is, the constitutional issue. The committee is involved in the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement. Ms McNamee mentioned some of the inadequacies of the Good Friday Agreement, but part of the difficulty is that the agreement has many parts that simply have not been implemented. One of those is the referendum and the border poll. Does she have any views on that or is that outside her remit?
