There is a lot of pessimism concerning Northern Ireland. Perhaps there could be a short debate next week, or certainly in the new session, on what the Government is planning to do with the British Government to give the talks process a kick start. A possible suggestion I might put to the Government is that a meeting be called of the Forum for Peace and Reconciliation in order that momentum is continued and pro-Agreement parties continue to meet on a regular basis to give support to the process. If the vacuum continues, the only ones who will fill it are those who have no interest in peace and are totally committed to wrecking the process, which we need to support with all the pro-Agreement parties in Unionist, Nationalist and republican Ireland which are prepared to make the necessary compromises.
