Northern Ireland: Statements.

 

We want the protagonists to declare openly and unambiguously that violence from whatever source or for whatever spurious reason has no part to play in the democratic process. We do this regularly, emphatically and openly and must continue to do so. The main task is to rebuild trust. People on all sides will argue that certain matters have not been attended to and must be addressed. All these fragments and components will now be worked through in order that we will be able, I hope, to build layer by layer the special trust that is necessary to re-establish the entire devolved system of Government in Northern Ireland. That is my wish.
