Labhrás Ó Murchú (Fianna Fail)

——and that is part of the total equation. Obviously, we have great admiration for the Taoiseach, the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform and all the other people involved in the process but my admiration for Tony Blair increases each time I listen to him. When I look back on the history of Ireland and the history of the North of Ireland, we were always worried what Margaret Thatcher or somebody like that would say to cause further problems. When I listen to Tony Blair, however, I hear a very reasonable, humane and pragmatic person. I agree with other speakers. We do not want recrimination. It is possible that in a matter of days something could happen, although I have my doubts. We should not ignore the fact that the looming United Kingdom general election has a bearing on this issue but I remain confident that the breakthrough could come at the very time we least expect it.
