The communities in Northern Ireland are now emerging from the shadow of the gunman. All communities have finally realised that the people who were their so-called protectors were actually the reason they were being attacked. They have now put this behind them and realise that their protectors were of no assistance at all. Senator Walsh mentioned the process of security normalisation, saying it was vital, and I agree. People have a right to live in a normal environment. The commission will have the responsibility of monitoring the demolition of watchtowers and removal of police from the barracks. All those things will be of benefit and the commission will be the vehicle through which they are delivered. There will be no justification for having soldiers in police barracks and watchtowers if paramilitary activity has ceased.
