I have questions about what Mr. Bruton said about reconciliation and how it must be done in the first place by the people of Northern Ireland themselves, with the active support of Dublin and London Governments. Where does he see politicians coming into that in the North? He has heard, and I would agree, that society is ahead of the politicians when it comes to reconciliation and the activities that we applaud, such as the learning of Irish in east Belfast. What hope does the current leadership of the main parties have for reconciliation beyond football matches and gestures?
