Ms Claire Hanna:

I think this was discussed fairly extensively, including in the media, when the UK Government proposals were published in March of two years ago and there were media interventions. That Bill was published and 50 days later Mr. Adams's party formally disassociated itself but it went through at least provisional committee stages without that being the case. To be fair I accept that Mr. Adams's party and we have all worked collectively, including his party colleagues on this committee, to oppose the UK Government's formal proposals. We all agree that they are rotten and Mr. Adams has spoken in the past and today about the need for credible processes on truth and accountability and I agree. Can Mr. Adams give some specific insights on what that would mean from a republican perspective? I suppose what I mean specifically is how he would see answers and information being made available to victims of the IRA, particularly if that organisation may or may not exist. We are all in agreement that the UK Government is trying to suppress truth and accountability. I hope Mr. Adams can show and demonstrate with specifics today that the republican movement would live up instead to the request it is making of others about truth and accountability, ideally with specifics of what that process would mean for victims of the IRA.
