Mary White (Fianna Fail)

There was a naiveté in cases over the years, such as the Garda Síochána putting its faith in giving information to the RUC. I recommend caution about being too trusting. It makes us out to be naive and a little gullible if we think that there are not other forces there. I draw the Minister's attention to the point that there are people in the system who want to undermine the peace process. There are people in security in Northern Ireland who have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo and who do not want to see progress. The PSNI is evolving. There were times in the past when we put too much faith in the goodwill of the people on the other side. I am not generalising in that it applies to everybody, but there have been instances where we were naive. We gave Articles 2 and 3 away too quickly. We are not quick to demand a quid pro quo for Articles 2 and 3. My point is we seem to be very generous.
