- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Gerry Adams (15 Dec 2022)
Emer Currie: No, just on that. What about the illegal organisations? Do the victims not deserve answers from the people high up in the illegal organisations? Should the IRA chiefs of staff, the Northern commanders and the quartermasters, not be held to account as well? Should they not answer questions?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Gerry Adams (15 Dec 2022)
Emer Currie: I will ask again to be sure. Does Mr. Adams believe that those in command and control of the IRA and other militias should answer for their conduct, account to victims and have questions to answer? It is a yes-no answer.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Gerry Adams (15 Dec 2022)
Emer Currie: What does Mr. Adams mean by "ability"? Does that mean that they are alive and able or that they have permission to?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Gerry Adams (15 Dec 2022)
Emer Currie: I agree that victims are victims but it is important that when we deal with victims, we are conscious that they are across all communities and that we do not only advocate for one group, such as republicans, nationalists or loyalists. We must advocate for all victims.

Emer Currie: The Good Friday Agreement states that we must acknowledge and address suffering. It is part of the agreement. If it is part of the Good Friday Agreement that we acknowledge and address suffering, why there is nothing in Mr. Adams's submission about the hurt during the Troubles?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Gerry Adams (15 Dec 2022)
Emer Currie: In his document, Mr. Adams talks about the work of others that made the work of peacebuilding more difficult. There is no acknowledgement that the IRA also made it difficult. It was responsible for more than 50% of the deaths. It is important we talk about these issues because they are a part of reconciliation.

Emer Currie: I do not think I will ever forget this project, namely, the report we are producing on the architects of the Good Friday Agreement. It is brilliant to be here talking to people who were such important names at the time - not just today but throughout the whole process. I heard these people's names being spoken about in my own home so getting the opportunity to meet them in this forum is...

I believe there was considerable criticism of it, just as there has been from the Commissioner for Victims and Survivors for Northern Ireland; the Northern Ireland Assembly; the Government; all the political parties on this...
