Northern Ireland: Statements.

 

I compliment the Minister on his extraordinary work on both the Nice treaty and this issue. He has done a fantastic job. I ask him to consider re-establishing the Forum for Peace and Reconciliation. There is outstanding business which the forum could consider, particularly on the question of consent which was not addressed last time round because the parties could not find common agreement on it. This fits in with Senator Brian Hayes's call that everybody in the Houses be tied into the issue of consent which has been accepted and adopted by the vote of the people in both parts of the island.
