Mr. John Green:

Sticking with the Stormont House Agreement, we are bending over backwards to try to put this into the Stormont House Agreement, but it is naive of us. It is 25 years on from the Good Friday Agreement and eight years on from the Stormont House Agreement and there has been New Decade, New Approach and the St. Andrews Agreement, all of which have failed. That is the problem. That is why we suggest this. They failed and they failed relatives. Where do you put the bar on relatives? The important thing about our proposal is that relatives can participate voluntarily if they want to come in. We have people who will provide information for them and the relatives are approached. That is the difference in what we are proposing. We hope it will work. It is naive of us to sit here and say that the Stormont House Agreement is the only game in town. We find most frustrating that the two Governments are not talking to each other. It is extraordinary. They are whispering against each other. They need to get out and it needs to be in public. Civil servants should be meeting and saying they are trying to resolve this. At the moment, it is never the twain shall meet.
