We are now at a stage where hard, face to face talking is required between the parties in Northern Ireland and between them and our Government. I hope that when this commission is up and running, it will set aside diplomatic speak and when complaints are made to it, it will give full and direct recommendations to both Governments concerning what needs to be done. If that had happened in 1998 or in 2000 we might not be in the current position. On behalf of Fine Gael, I thank the four eminent people who, as the Minister stated, have decided to accept appointment as members of the commission. They have a knowledge of security matters in this State, in Northern Ireland and in the United States of America. They have an expert knowledge of counter terrorism, which is important because the kind of organisations we are dealing with, which still have not decided to decommission their weapons fully and thereby honour the commitments under the Good Friday Agreement, must be told in no uncertain terms what needs to be done, even at this late stage, to make progress.
