British-Irish Agreement (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

I remember the day we went to Armagh. It was an historic day that will always stay with me, as will the meetings; I was honoured to be at two of those meetings. I noticed yesterday at the Forum for Peace and Reconciliation that the people who made the most outstanding contributions were those who stated at the beginning that we all have a mandate as a result of the vote, North and South, on the Good Friday Agreement. Various things can happen, with institutions breaking down and winding up, but we are abusing the electorate if we do not work might and main to follow through on the Good Friday Agreement. That is the will of the people and the vox populi cannot be disregarded. That guiding star is worth dwelling on as it invigorates us.
