Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)

I wish to join in the tributes that have been paid to the Taoiseach for the tremendous investment of energy and commitment he has put into the peace process. That has been recognised not only in this House but also by the various parties in the North. The Northern parties — particularly the SDLP and the UUP in the early stages — also deserve our congratulations. It is easy to forget that the UUP, under the leadership of David Trimble, moved considerably.
