Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Gerry Adams

Mr. Gerry Adams:

He does have the opportunity to deal with what I think has been, and I want to thank the committee for the opportunity to come here and all of the commentary back and forth is all good for us all to be opened up by these questions and observations and so on. Maybe, on the substance of what we are saying, there could be an opportunity for the new Taoiseach or the recycled Taoiseach to come and put some elements of substance on this project and on the other issues we dealt with here, whether it is victims or partitionism, legacy issues or the bill of rights. It is a big, big project and I will finish on this if I may. We have the chance to start anew. Very few states, very few countries, very few nations are given the chance to start anew. We have it so let us take it. It will take time, patience, stamina, determination, vision, generosity and generosity is a very important element in all of this. Let us go forward on that and I thank everyone for their commentary.
