Northern Ireland: Statements.

 

If we are to have the influence we should have as a state, we must enjoy equivalent credibility with the population in Northern Ireland. If 100 members of the PSNI refused to co-operate with an official body investigating misbehaviour, the Government would be in a state of apoplexy about it. It must establish its own credibility in the areas of human rights, police reform and a belief that, rather than a basket case economy, we have an economy that can maintain the levels of prosperity we have enjoyed. That is what credibility is about and what we need. I suggest these three elements need to be advanced if we are to get the process back on track.
