Regarding Article 3, Senator Brian Hayes alluded to the fact that the legislation has to some extent been overtaken by events since it was first envisaged. While an independent demonstration of adherence or otherwise to the terms of the Agreement by the various parties was needed at one stage, changing circumstances, namely, the emergence of Sinn Féin, on the one hand, and the Democratic Unionist Party, on the other, as the largest parties in the Assembly, raises a question mark, as the Minister also noted, about devolved government in the North. I hope the current problem will be overcome. There is a strong body of opinion that if it is overcome in the current circumstances, the result may be more sustainable as a consequence.
