I was not present for the Order of Business yesterday but I would like to reflect the frustration of others regarding the impasse that has been reached in Northern Ireland. I am one of many who have always viewed the decommissioning process as a confidence building measure rather than a logistical exercise. Sinn Féin and the IRA are well resourced and in position to replace the arms that are decommissioned should they choose to revert to violence. The purpose of decommissioning was always to build trust and it is utterly absurd that a decommissioning act can be carried out but details are not provided so that confidence can be built. I hope both Governments and those responsible for the obligation of confidentiality being placed on General de Chastelain will make the necessary moves over the next few days to break the impasse.
