Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Bill of Rights for Northern Ireland: Discussion

12:15 pm

Mr. Eugene McGlone:

On behalf of the ICTU, I thank the committee for its courtesy in hearing us out and for its intentions with regard to the meeting of 11 March next. I would like to emphasise Mr. O'Connor's point that we do not believe the implementation of a bill of rights will solve all our problems. It would help in the same way that getting the grass cut enables one to hurl a bit better. That is what we need to be doing.
