Independent Monitoring Commission Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

The recent elections have brought new challenges to the North; they have made a complex issue a little more complex. The people of the North have spoken. They have given the candidates their mandate and they expect them to do what they must. They expect them to contribute to the possibility of a restoration of the devolved Government. The Agreement was ratified by 85% of the people of this island and 71% of the people of Northern Ireland. More than 70% of the representatives returned to the Assembly are pro-Agreement, which says something. I hope all parties work with the Governments to achieve normalisation and stability in the North. I wish the Minister well.
