Whatever the possibilities were of re-establishing the institutions before the elections two weeks ago, it will now be more difficult to do so in light of the results. The Minister was honest about the current political situation. No one has a road map to resolve this situation and there is no plan B. The situation is worse now because over the past five years the two principal parties have used and abused the Agreement to get their own way. I refer specifically to the DUP which has built its political success in recent months on attacking at every turn the Agreement, which is the voice of the Irish people, North and South, as expressed in 1998. Equally, Sinn Féin has successfully built up its political capital in recent months, using the issue of IRA weapons as a bargaining tool between the Irish Government and other pro-Agreement parties.
