Northern Ireland: Statements.
We agree with the position of the two Governments. That, after all, is what the people voted for, North and South. Progress on decommissioning and demilitarisation is essential. A south Armagh in which watch towers and British troops proliferate must become a thing of the past. Policing remains a hugely important issue in respect of which we also need full implementation. I was encouraged by the Taoiseach's statement that further policing legislation is to be introduced next week and that recruitment from both communities in the North is proceeding satisfactorily.
