Northern Ireland: Statements.

 

Great strides have been made. People have got used to normal government, to having a Minister for Agriculture, Education or the Environment going about his or her duties as part of normal political life. We take this for granted, but it was unheard of in Northern Ireland. Deep down, people now have a strong belief that they can manage matters and can get along. There is no reason this should not continue. The principle outlined by the Taoiseach of taking giant steps forward as distinct from incremental ones is a fine policy. My wish is that this can be done.
