I agree that it is fair to say the different groups involved in paramilitarism on both sides of the community could have different characteristics, which we must recognise. That said, the IRC has been a responsible body and it has gone about its business quietly and efficiently. It operates in a coherent fashion, even though members come from very different perspectives. In my interaction with them, I found them to be a very impressive group of people who think deeply about this and make serious recommendations. I am not asking a question, I am hoping that we can progress this matter. I thank the Minister for her positive replies. Not every group may buy in but if any do, it will be worth the effort.
