Mr. Gerry Adams:

The IRA did apologise for all of those people it shot and secretly buried. It made a public apology for that, and it made clear that those actions were wrong. I can give one example. Sometimes these matters are better carried out quietly because that is the wish of the victim's family. If there are other actions, of course all of us are obliged to look at these to try to find some way to bring healing. A healing process is central to moving forward. That has come out of all of this in a very positive way.
