Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I welcome the Taoiseach and commend him for his fine remarks. I also thank him for his interest and thoughtfulness on the subject. I am delighted to learn that we are on the eve of round table talks. There is no alternative to ongoing dialogue between all the parties involved and both Governments. I am delighted our colleague, Senator Maurice Hayes, is to be chairman of the reconvened Forum for Peace and Reconciliation on which I congratulate him.
