In this context, and in the presence of Senator Mansergh, I pay tribute to those who negotiated the Good Friday Agreement. I regret that this particular outworking and implementation of the Agreement, which is in one sense part of our acts of completion, has taken so long. The substantial arguments were real and the delay was not a question of indolence or indifference to the issue. Passionate, well articulated arguments were made on both sides, on paper, in public and in the other House. Whereas all delay is unfortunate, this delay has served as useful in one respect. It has enabled all the issues to be carefully investigated.
