Mr. David Donoghue:

I do not remember, to be honest. It was more a case of what criteria would be used for granting people early release. Each case would have had to be considered. The word "amnesty" implies a kind of blanket decision to let them all out. There still had to be a process of evaluating each case. It would take some time after the agreement before the first releases would happen. I do not think an amnesty, as such, came up. I was not involved directly in those negotiations but that is my memory.
