In supporting this legislation, I look forward to seeing it used in a constructive manner. No matter what is written, we must consider the realpolitik of the situation – either there are conditions in which the institutions can function on an inclusive basis or they will not function at all. If it was politically unreal before the Assembly elections that, short of a return to war, something would not happen, the parties would come together or the British Government on its own would exclude what was even then, by a slight margin, the larger of the Nationalist parties, Sinn Féin, it is totally out of the question now. If one even attempted to do it, the SDLP would be crucified, not Sinn Féin.
