Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Engagement with Representatives of Truth Recovery Process

Mr. Padraig Yeates:

Absolutely. Could I reiterate what we said in our statement? We believe the ICIR is the best vehicle by which to proceed. We do not believe the proposal would take much changing and amending to make it effective. Mr. Michael Lynn and other legal people are examining it at the moment to see how this could be done. If the Stormont House Agreement is in place and the British and Irish are signed up, we are not asking people to reinvent the wheel. I could never emphasise enough that all we are saying is that our proposal is an option; we are not saying the shutters should be pulled down.
