That is a very important clarification because, as a member of committee, I have met with people whose families were murdered by the IRA or other paramilitary organisations. The same evil has been perpetrated in all communities. I appreciate and fully support what you are saying. It is important that absolutely nobody can be let off the hook. For the first time in 15 years, a British Prime Minister will attend a British-Irish Council meeting today. That is very important. I am very hopeful there will be a change in British Government policy now that there is a new Prime Minister.
