Full participation in all the talks is the best guarantee Unionists have of the outcome they and the rest of us so badly want, namely, permanent peace. We also recognise the difficulties of Sinn Féin, but, since it is in politics and, through its leadership, has demonstrated this in a most committed way, it no longer needs anyone in the background with guns or semtex. Power sharing is vital for confidence and the further nurturing of the process. I fully endorse the Taoiseach's comments and wish him and the British Government well, together with all the parties.
