As Senator Brian Hayes said, the early autumn talks will be important if there is to be an early restoration of the institutions. The common sense of purpose within this House on the subject is deeply appreciated. It is encouraging from the point of view of participants that we have on the one hand a constructive speech by Mr. Jeffrey Donaldson and on the other efforts by Mr. Gerry Kelly to restrain his side.

I must disagree with Senator Norris; it is not just a matter of walking down a public highway. If marchers go near other communities, it should be done with their agreement and consent. All experience shows that. Regarding paramilitary displays or the burning of other people's national flags, if we, for any so-called cultural purpose, burned Union Jacks, there would be much comment. These displays do not reflect any credit ——
