The commission, whose members are all individuals of the utmost integrity and standing, visited Dublin last week. I had the opportunity to discuss the broad political situation with them and they also had the opportunity to discuss the situation with other members of the Government. We shared with them the Government view that the IMC can act as a confidence-building mechanism on a wide range of issues, particularly by offering reassurance that the activities which destabilised the institutions in the past will not be allowed to recur.
