Independent Monitoring Commission Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

I was involved in a small way in the Forum for Peace and Reconciliation. The work the forum is carrying out is helpful and it is important that it continues. Meetings were held recently, and even though Unionists did not take part formally, they did contribute. I found what they had to say very positive and they were prepared to engage. We must find a way of including Unionists. We had a forum on Europe, which could have worked better. If we want to keep the Forum on Peace and Reconciliation going, we must deal with issues that affect ordinary people. The work the forum does is very helpful but it is held in Dublin Castle. We need to involve people at all levels.
