That is fair enough. I thank Mr. Adams for coming here.

I have watched him since I was a child. He will be aware that I have disagreed profoundly with his interpretation of history and the justification for violence. I come from a different nationalist tradition. However, I also recognise that he was the person who brought an end to violence, whatever about any earlier involvement or incitement or connection. He was in position to do it, and I really want to acknowledge that. I am struck today by his paper about moving towards the future and reconciliation, and our different perspectives around the full implementation of the agreement. To my mind the full implementation of the agreement is a genuinely reconciled island. That means a genuinely reconciled North, a genuinely reconciled Northern Ireland and a genuinely reconciled island in its totality. I think the Government has a strategy for part of that which is the shared island. I get the sense from Mr. Adams's paper that it is something he rejects as a strategy, and that his view of reconciliation is limited to the border poll. I would like to tease that out a little. My second question is about acts of reconciliation. On page 8 and page 9 of his statement he acknowledges the need for that. Can he outline substantial examples by himself or his own party in that regard, particularly relating to unionism which he has suggested is most important? I will then have one other question, if it pleases the Chair.
