I thought we had passed that stage. I live within half an hour of Enniskillen and have relatives in the county and the town, which I know well. As the Church of Ireland bishop said this morning, when we hear of Enniskillen and a bomb in one sentence, it cuts one to the quick. In this House we had the legacy of the 1988 bomb in the person of the distinguished, much remembered, lamented and loved former Senator Gordon Wilson. I hope this House and others that have the moral authority can send a powerful message to those who do not represent the overwhelming desire of the Irish people for peace on this island. I direct my comments to the Leader to allow her an opportunity to comment on this issue. I hope this House will record its condemnation of this event. In spite of the fact that we are in the middle of a peace process there are evil men still around, be it in the day or at night.
